Region 11 An Extreme Mathematical Analysis
-
teach1coach2My prediction as of 10/20/12:
#1 Marlington hosts #8 Struthers
#2 West Holmes hosts #7 Indian Creek
#3 Steubenville hosts #6 Maysville
#4 Dover hosts #5 Granville
(#5 and #6 could easily switch.)
This is Drew Pasteur’s prediction:
Region 11 Projections
1) Marlington (Alliance) (9-1) 26.90
2) West Holmes (Millersburg) (9-1) 24.10
3) Steubenville (8-2) 23.77
4) Dover (8-2) 23.29
5) Maysville (Zanesville) (9-1) 21.95
6) Granville (9-1) 21.90
7) Indian Creek (Wintersville) (9-1) 20.66
8 ) Poland Seminary (Poland) (7-3) 19.62
The maximum win out and minimum win out matches Joe Eitel’s numbers for all teams listed except Steubenville’s maximum. I cannot determine if two of their opponents play this week. When you play teams from Washington DC, New York, West Virginia, and Canada it makes it more difficult. Have a few opinions on this, but will let it rest for now!
Rankings below are IF all teams win week 10:
Definitely playing week 11:
#1 Marlington Win 26.95 Lose 24.90 (Will host as #1 win or lose week 10)
#2 West Holmes Win 24.05 Lose 22.10 (Win and host.)
#4 Steubenville Win 23.61 Lose 20.77
#7 Maysville Win 21.45 Lose 20.05 (#6 and #7 too close to realistically call)
Win week 10 and play week 11.
#3 Struthers Win 23.70 Lose 19.65
#5 Dover Win 23.29 Lose 18.7
#6 Granville Win 21.05 Lose 18.60
#8 Indian Creek Win 20.66 Lose 19.26
Need to win week 10 and have Struthers, Dover, Granville, or Indian Creek lose.
#9 Philo Win 19.7 Lose 14.8
Need 2 of these 3 to lose (Philo, Dover, Granville) and for a few level 2 teams to beat teams with better records. (Drew Pasteur thinks they do a whole lot better with L2 points than I do.)
#10 Poland Seminary Win 18.6 Lose 17.06

CatsFanExcellent analysis. Region 11 seems to be pretty stacked this year. Struthers, currently at #8 in the region with 17.3722 points, would be #2 in Regions 9 and 12 and #4 in Region 10. I think your analysis looks pretty good. It's interesting that Struthers can possibly remain at #8, even with a loss, but the numbers support that. Campbell Memorial should be favored over Girard, Lakeview over Newton Falls, Field over Springfield, Hubbard over Canfield, and Niles McKinley over Youngstown East. Obviously, that's a lot of contingencies, but those are all very winnable games for those schools. If those results do occur, Struthers would get its maximum average. The maximum average with a loss being 19.65, and the maximum average with a win being 23.7.
As your analysis shows, 19.65 could be enough to hold a slight edge over Poland, even if Poland beats Beaver Local. A win over Howland would likely bring Struthers to 23.7 and make a home game likely. It's kind of weird to think a 6-4 Struthers could finish ahead of 7-3 Poland, given Poland won the head-to-head, but Struthers has more quality wins. Poland even gamed the system a bit with its win over a weaker Canadian opponent that provided a boat load of computer points.
