2023 Harbin Points Thread

Overall point differential between the 3 teams games should be the seed order instead of the blind draw. Any other ideas on how to break a tie in the harbin system?
 
Wow. So because the GMC 9 league schedule in weeks 2-10 All of Oak Hills, Mason, and Sycamore's opponents have 42 wins.

Oak Hills played (3-7) Turpin, Sycamore played (5-5) Kings, Mason (played (10-0) Gahanna Lincoln, who beat (9-1) Pick North. This tie breaker looks like it came down to who you scheduled in week 1.

We should know who we play around 4pm today. https://pafootballnews.com/neuman-goretti-saints/

Thank you for clearing that up. It's interesting to me that for tiebreakers the OHSAA would use total wins by all opponents instead of defeated opponents like they use for everything else, but I guess it introduces a strength of schedule-esque component.

Lack of toughness and assignments as well in middle of field. Our DB safeties have to make way to many plays. Uran needs to go to the middile and rotate the others. At least give it a try.

So if that Life Christian score is correct. The numbers in the lower right will tell you what amount of points each win gave Elder

Here is the order

Louisville X

In all seriousness this is great for the Westside. The Pit will be packed like the old days. I’m calling 9,000 fans for this one and get there early. Weather dependent of course but it looks like a 70’ day with potential rain

I agree that he probably wasn't thinking of them, but he lived in Wickliffe and right next door to him in Euclid, we were playing a 9 game LEL (Lake Erie League) schedule with just one non-conference date. The coaches hated it and they dropped to 7 conference games in about 1974.

I like the basic idea of the Harbin System but there WERE several things that Jack Harbin did not consider in formulating it, that he should have.
 
I'll say again, Elder could not have asked for a better draw. Does not mean they will beat OH or West, but they avoid X and Moe early. Interesting, the two teams they scrimmaged in the pre-season are the two teams they face in the playoffs. OH is solid. It will be a closer game than most think.

This Elder team has been a flat of late. Injuries are certainly partly to blame, but playing a neighborhood rival in The Pit should provide a lift. Other than a GCL game, no other possible opponent could ramp up emotion more than OH. Let's hope it elevates their play. Congrats seniors! You get one last game home game!

As an Oak Hills fan, I agree 💯. I am glad for Elder to get this draw. Oak Hills would be an underdog no matter who they drew so might as well make it a big west side affair. I hope it’s a clean, competitive game. I will cheer for the winner the rest of the way. West side, best side.
