I think Poland wins by 10-14. Or many common opponents but looking at schedules and results I think Poland has the edge here.
Good choice

Drew Pasteur’s prediction. Poland wins by 4
Nice breakdown!
Poland will win by 30
I am sure the Poland staff will have the team grounded, despite the fact that everyone thinks they will roll. For the IC fans, here are some details best I can remember, with the help of the game program...LOL
OL is huge. C-6'3 255 RG 6'3 360 RT 6'3 290 LG 6'2 220 or 6'4 240 (2 rotate) LT 6'5 300
Two decent tail backs #30 is the faster, and #32 more of a downhill power TB. Neither are "all state" type kids, but do more than their share of damage when given the opportunity.
#44 is primary FB and is very physical
TE is #33 or #45 both 6'2 225ish. #33 also plays D line and is probably one of the best players on the field.
#15 is sophmore QB who has been starting since week three. Doesn't get a chance (or need) to throw much but when he does, has made some very good throws. He is also very good on his feet, especially in RPO situations. I think he may have 11-12 TD and no INT's that I can remember.
#13 is best wide out, and very athletic and long.
Defense
#44 and #23 ILB's and both very physical. OLB's are #32 and #52. Also very strong and physical. The D Line is a rotation of several guys, but #33 sticks out IMO as the leader.
Secondary is solid, and has given up VERY few big plays this year.
Kicking Game is solid with #18 very consistently making extra points, and has a range about 35-40 yds for fg's.

Pretty solid breakdown! OLine was considered a major weakness coming into this season but they've definitely held their ground.
33 and 44 are basically additional guards with their size and physicality (44 is an elite lead blocker)
The QB is the brother of an All-Ohio LB from Mooney who is now at Michigan State, so athleticism runs in the family. Still not sure why he is at Poland? Nonetheless, he's done a great job, but if asked to throw it could be worrisome as he likes to scramble.
Defensively, Poland's front 7/8 are extremely physical and tough to beat. Cool side note- 52 scored a 34 on his ACT and got accepted into Harvard. He's also a great player.
Poland's secondary hasn't really been tested but have done what is asked.
No studs on this team, just some physical, smart kids that are very well coached
