I am not trying to make any statement about conference alignment here, nor am I taking any direct shot at one conference vs. another in this current season. Rather, this is a stat that always intrigues me. There are years when the NOL could only find a way to send one school to the playoffs, and then there was last season when three schools made it to week 11. This is typically driven by the number of wins a conference gathers in non-league play. I like to think about extreme examples, such as a division of the Mid-State League in 2014, when 8 schools went 19-5 in their non-league play and sent FIVE schools to the playoffs. Last year, the Wayne County Athletic League also went 19-5 in non-league play and sent four schools to the playoffs.
So. As any well-adjusted adult male would do, I went ahead and compiled all the non-league stats of conferences in Ohio to see what percentage they have won up to this point. My references were the "Ohio High School Athletic Conferences" wikipedia page and the always thorough www.Joeeitel.com. Now, I had to do a lot of guesswork regarding conferences that had over 10 teams and how they did non-league and crossover games, and as a result I threw out a lot of those from consideration. If you looked at joeeitel, you would realize it isn't always as clear cut as you would imagine.
I will be revisiting this page as the season progresses and we have more non-league matchups rolling in. Remember, I am not tracking EVERY conference. Only the ones where it was readily apparent how they structure league play vs. non-league play via Joeeitel. I don't have a real goal for this, I just think that knowledge is power.
Here is how I will display the info:
