There is no arguing that comparatively, Bell has assembled a schedule, which is less than challenging; however, the slate of games will permit them to rest players, protect the furthering of injuring, and trial-run different plays, before their 13th game, likely to be the first time the team faces an above average team.

I watched Bell play Whitley, and there is no denying that they looked strong, but again, the competition was not at a high level, and their remaining schedule has a collective total of around 12 victories; not bad, but clearly not comparable to the schedules of many other 3A contenders:

DeSales - 16 victories.

Belfry - 13 victories.

Ashland B - 16 victories.

Glasgow - 13 victories.

Russell - 15 victories.

Bell will very likely reach a point of 12-0, but it will be exceedingly interesting to see how they respond, once three months of minimal tests, immediately concludes.

If I am being honest, after watching the Whitley game, I would not feel comfortable betting on Bell defeating any of the five above teams, and I am not wholly sure those five teams are definitively the best five in 3A.
