Ok, this game should finally make people on here understand just how the strength of schedule makes a difference. I have some stats for you so there cannot be any doubt after the game you can look back at what I've said all year.

I rate the schedules in many different ways. One of which is what I call a plus system. The more higher classification teams you play the higher your rating. It's simple math. If you are 1a and you play a 6a team that gives you a plus 5. If you are 1a and play a 2a its a plus 1. Using this method Mayfield played a plus 20 and the burg a plus 13.

Next is teams you have played with a lit rating of 90 or better. Mayfield has played 7 teams with a 90 or better. They played one of those teams twice. Mayfield also played 4 teams with a rating of 100 or better. Williamsburg has played 1 team with a rating of 90 or better and none with a rating of 100.

Mayfield's combined opponents record is 85-73
Williamsburg's combined opponents record is 69-90

During these schedules Williamsburg has averaged a 6 point better scoring margin per game than Mayfield. They also have 1 less loss than Mayfield.

So, I would say Mayfield's schedule has been light years ahead of the burg's. So, if the burg can win, they can say the strength of schedule is a myth. However if they lose again after the second year of playing a much weaker schedule and this time running the table, then you have to agree that I was correct.
