Region 10 Playoff Seeding

[BellevueBuckeye]

Coaches vote this coming week, with the brackets being finalized on Thursday

As far as Harbins go TC is in 3rd, Norwalk 10th and Sandusky tied for 18th (last)

This region is a little more difficult to figure out as there are several teams that haven't played 5 games.

The bracket will be something like this, as far as seeding pairings go:

I'm going to guess a fairly decent BG Bobcat squad will want a crack at the Truckers. I have to believe the beatdown Norwalk gave to BG is still fresh, circa 2018.

Jake I'm buying on these truckers right now. Should be an interesting one with tiffin this week.

However norwalk will be a tough out if they keep improving like they are

This region just seems weak to me again. No TCC or old Glenville teams anymore. Is the winner of the TC Norwalk game the favorite? Crazy to say that, because I feel both teams were better last year....but who is better?

It’s definitely an interesting division. Not a lot separates the top teams with the middle teams. Some teams haven’t played 5 games, most teams are only playing conference game’s so it’s hard to tell who is for real and who is not.

It’s also interesting that there are two pretty big games this week, Norwalk vs Tiffin and Ashland vs West Holmes in the region and it won’t really matter for the playoffs because the seeding will already be set.

Here is my guess on how the region will be seeded...

1.Bowling Green
2. Tiffin
3. Ashland
4. Medina Buckeye
5. Copley
6. Cloverleaf
7. Padua Franciscan
8. River Valley
9. Norwalk
10. Revere

11. Holy Name
12. West Holmes
13. Bay
14. Mansfield Sr.
15. Rocky River
16. Norton
17. Sylvania Southview
18. Sandusky
19. Defiance
20. Maumee
21. Mansfield Madison
22. Lexington

Not a single school ranked in the AP poll. Yes I know that doesn’t mean anything, but you usually see one school from an entire region ranked

When was the last time BG was anywhere near the top spot in their Region?

Here's cleveland.com's write up on the region, taken from the larger article covering several Northern Ohio playoff regions:

www.cleveland.com/highschoolsports/2020/09/ohsaa-football-regional-playoff-seeding-primer.html

DIVISION III, REGION 10

Best resumes: Tiffin Columbian (4-1) has few breaks in the Sandusky Bay Conference and pushed unbeaten Bellevue before a 20-13 loss Sept. 18. Ashland (5-0) opened the season as a substitute opponent for Division I Berea-Midpark and has not looked back. Revere (3-1) also shouldn’t be discounted. The Minutemen began their season in Week 2 with a 12-7 loss to Division III state semifinalist Aurora and have a team built for a deep run with Kent State linebacker commit Shane Slattery running on offense behind a line anchored by Ohio State-bound Ben Christman.

Biggest enigma: Buckeye (2-1) also had a late start to its season. The Bucks entered this year with a seven-year streak of making the playoffs. Even with turnover on their roster, another run to make the top eight was expected. In the last two weeks, Elyria Catholic handed Buckeye a 33-14 loss before a 42-28 bounce-back performance Friday vs. Valley Forge.

Matchup we want to see: Padua (4-1) vs. Holy Name (3-1) is no longer a regular-season matchup. Even before the OHSAA adjusted to a modified six-week schedule, the Bruins and Green Wave no longer were slated to play their Parma rivalry. This expanded playoff field could just alleviate that.

First-round byes: 10.

How cleveland.com would vote: 1. Tiffin Columbian (4-1), 2. Revere (3-1), 3. Ashland (5-0), 4. Norwalk (3-2), 5. Bowling Green (4-1), 6. Padua (4-1), 7. Copley (4-0), 8. Buckeye (2-1), 9. Cloverleaf (4-1), 10. Holy Name (3-1), 11. Caledonia River Valley (4-1), 12. Rocky River (2-1), 13. Bay (1-2), 14. Millersburg West Holmes (3-2), 15. Mansfield (1-4), 16. Norton (1-4), 17. Sylvania Southview (1-4), 18. Sandusky (0-5), 19. Defiance (0-5), 20. Lexington (0-5), 21. Mansfield Madison (0-5), 22. Maumee (0-5).

I'm not sure Lexington will be that high.

#17 Sandusky travels to #16 Norton. If the Streaks get a win they'll earn a second trip this year to Tiffin to face #1 Columbian

#10 Copley travels to #7 Norwalk (both have a bye), to play the first playoff game on the new turf at Whitney Field. St. Paul is also supposed to host a game that night, so I suppose they'll play Saturday?
