If you know many people from that district, most of them will tell you that Rock is clearcut #1, Mad South #2, and Bell #3. I didn't see the games but from what people that way say, Bell won both games very questionably and due to some extremely lucky calls in the game. But you can't argue wins and loses. They are what they are and they are set in stone.

Also, some teams mathcup much better with others. It's not that if Team A beats Team B and Team B beats Team C then it is known that Team A will beat Team C. (Take for instance, Russell beats Ashland 21-12. Boyd County beats Russell 33-14. Then Ashland beats Boyd County 35-8.) Some teams just have very favorable matchups. JC is playing to what I hear is a strength of the Mad South defense. Also, even though JC's defense has gotten better all season, they have been known to give up points to teams. I think the balanced attack Mad South brings to the game will give the JC defense some trouble.

Also, the biggest factor I see being a motivation for Mad South is that they feel they were WRONGED in their game against Bell County and it cost them the opportunity to host a playoff game. I think with that motivation to get to go back to Bell County and prove they were the better team will drive them to a tough earned victory over JC.
