I'm not sure Metcalfe's schedule is weaker than Mayfield's schedule.

Metcalfe's opponents record is 35-64 (regular season)
Metcalfe has played 3 teams with a winning record. Two at 7-3 and one at 8-2
Metcalfe has played 3 teams that completed the regular season with winless records
Best win (IMO) is an overtime game against 1A 8-2 KCD 29-28

Mayfield's opponents record is 37-63 (regular season)
Mayfield has played 2 teams with a winning record. Both at 6-4.
Mayfield has played 2 teams that complete the regular season with winless records.
Best win (IMO) is against 3A 4-6 PT 16-14

Just looking at these stats I would say both schedules are pretty similar. Not sure how you think Metcalfe's schedule is weaker than Mayfield's schedule?
