If I have to eat some crow I will. I think W. East overrated. Now just how much, I’m not real sure. Not seen a lot of them, but their situation reminds me of Corbin last year. Pretty weak schedule, undefeated. Now the opponent they face has been through the ringer, played several potential state title teams. So tough competition for them is no stranger. They know what they will have to play like, energy and physical level, etc to compete with it. W East doesn’t IMO. Being at home will help them. But I can def see FC coming out victorious

In all polls I have seen,  they are no higher than 5th ranked. No lower than 8th. I think they are appropriately rated. They are in the final 8 playing in 4A so it seems justified. 

I guess my question is where do you have them ranked to not be overrated?

FC certainly capable of winning this game but East has experience, speed, and size to match up with them with so I don't see some blowout like that fraudulent spencer co team

Sorry Fade, you are absolutely correct and overrated was bad verbiage. I should have said, like Corbin last year, IMO they aren’t as good as they appear on paper. They are 4 in RPI. But their OWP is below .500, which could me either 1) they played some bad teams all year or 2) they played some good teams, but those teams had hard
schedules. But looking at their OOWP, it’s just .54, which to me means they played a light schedule. Only 3 teams theyve played had winning records. Wayne, Franklin Simpson, and Daviess co. If those are the best teams they’ve played, again just in my opinion I don’t think they’ve proved themselves yet. So the record can be misleading. But i could be wrong, won’t be the first time today. Might not even be the last. They could wipe everybody left, I don’t see it, but again it’s hard to judge yourself playing teams with losing records. If you made me bet. Im gonna take FC by 2 scores

It is all about being right at the correct time, every team deals with injuries.   Spencer took a significant injury in week 10 and another in the first round that dramatically affected them.   Not saying they would have beaten Franklin but you need to be healthy and playing your best this time.   Franklin needs to be consistent and not hurt themselves with penalties if so they will be a tough out.
