D2 has some heavy hitters this year. Do you think the top 5/6 d2 teams could take the top 5/6 teams in d1?
Not even close
The question did not originate with you so who knows if he means top end or total. I said last season that it should be a D1 vs D2 challenge around the state with the regional champs from last season squaring off in week one. R1 vs R5, R2 vs R6, R3 vs R7, R4 vs R8. I can't say exactly whom those teams were but I do know R4 vs R8 would be Colerain vs Winton Woods and the Warriors would win.Total depth obviously Don. The question was top end. Example my semi bracket this year would be Hoban/Massillon/WW/LaSalle vs. Mentor/Ed/Iggy/PC. This year I'd lean D1 but that would be some exciting football.
Didn't they just lose to a D1 power?I think Hoban can beat or get with any school in the top ten in D1 on any given game.
A better question would be: Could any D2 teams win the D1 State Championship? And the answer would be an emphatic "No".Hoban wouldn't be deep enough to run the gauntlet of R1, easily the hardest region in the state. Massillon has never won a state championship, so scratch them. Hoban and Winton Woods are the only ones of their top 3 who is willing to schedule the top D1 teams like the Cleveland saints, St. x, Pick Central, Colerain, or Mentor.
WHERE CHAMPIONS ARE MADE AND SUCCESS IS TRADITION

LOL!
Who needed a 25 point comeback to do it. I'd feel pretty confident in a rematch if I was Hoban.Didn't they just lose to a D1 power?
That's what I was thinking also. I think Hoban is the best team in the state regardless of division.Who needed a 25 point comeback to do it. I'd feel pretty confident in a rematch if I was Hoban.
No but razor close. Esp. last year. Similarly 2 years ago I thought Hoban & WW were the 2 best teams. Several argued LaSalle was #1 before that.
D1 should thank Iggy for defending their honor Friday.
Its ridiculous to use a one point victory the Ignatius had over Hoban as a barometer to who is better. Whoever uses it as such is not very smart. In the coming weeks there are some matchups coming that might shed some light on this topic. St. Eds at Winton Woods and then Elder at Winton Woods. The challenge is to identify whom are the top D1 and D2 teams. I think its easiest to do it geographically and D2 seems a little clearer. Winton Woods in Southwest Ohio, Toledo Central Catholic in Northwest Ohio, Hoban in Northeast Ohio and Massillon out in Bizarro world.
Wait what? So the team that gave up 25 straight points would win the next game? Seems really odd to think that.Who needed a 25 point comeback to do it. I'd feel pretty confident in a rematch if I was Hoban.
You will be EXTREMELY disappointed (as usual) @ the end of it 0-48.JJBulldog,
What are you talking about? The author of this thread asked, “Is D-2 more Powerful than D-1 this year? Interesting question. You make your response an anti-Massillon post. We get it, you hate the Tigers. Unfortunately, you are going to be more disappointed as the season progresses.
