New national #1 for calpreps 12/17

 
DLS top opponent, according to calpreps, is rated higher than any team ST X played this year

and DLS did not need 3 overtimes to win by 3 points
or almost lose when the opponent was within about 10 yards from the end zone as time ran out as in the Ohio semis

congrats DLS

my answer is all we hear all day long is the ohio boys touting calpreps SOS and how that proves ST X is the best team in the nation

well calpreps ranks DLS ahead of St X

I will only say that despite the flaws, ST X can crow all day long about their SOS according to calpreps, now they can also eat their humble pie as DLS is ranked higher by the saem site: calpreps

DLS's overall schedule isn't close. Not remotely.

Only 5 DLS opponents even hit the Top 1000.

Only one of X's opponents isn't amongst the top 1000.

DLS didn't play several hours from home with a new QB, did they?

Per calpreps, DLS played roughly one tough opponent all year. In that game, they managed to blow a 24-point lead and damned near lost. One tough game and they're choking and cleaning their shorts out. But you want to be the monkey throwing poop at X? You must be joking.
 
to reitierate

all those bomberblueboys that crow about SOS for ST X (using calpreps) can now read and weep

DLS #1 ranked team on calpreps

cant have your cake and eat it too

DLS outscored 13 opponents 392--28 in the first half

including a team ranked higher than anybody ST X played

St X gave up 24 points in one first half
and nearly loss to an unranked team, taking 3 overtimes to win by 3 points
and came within a few seconds (extension) of losing a game they were barely leading 10-7 when the opponent was driving for the winning score

calpreps DLS #1
 
PROJECT A MATCHUP


neutral field
[2007] St. Xavier (Cincinnati, OH) 28, [2007] De La Salle (Concord, CA) 21
 
Rank Previous School Record Schedule
1 6 DLS (Concord, CA) 13-0 Last: 12/15 beat Centennial (Corona, CA) 37-31
2 1 St. Xavier (Cincinnati, OH) 15-0 Last: 12/01 beat Mentor (OH) 27-0

as plain as the eye can see
 
current #1's for 7 separate polls\

MNW 4
St X 2
DLS 1

it has been said (see colerain SLC 2004 and Lakeland SLC 2005 etc) that a number 1 ranking in at least 1 poll allows a claim to a national championship)

so 2007 national champs (at least 1 poll) are
MNW

and
ST X

and DLS
 
and lets not forget calpreps predicted DLS to lose against CC

and despite a Halloween 12 minutes in the 4th Q, (once a year nightmare events - safeties, 2 point conversions, a WR reverse pass in which Czyz was 12 yards behind the defenders only to have a sure TD turn into a pick) in which Centennial sccored 24 points to tie the game....

DLS dominated a team that's LOWEST point total of the year was 31 points, 31-7 after 2 1/2 Q and after surviving the Halloween onslaught, came back like champions and put together a TD drive, a big 4th down stuff and a pick to seal the game

Czyz was faceguarded and interfered with on that one pass in the endzone (even the SoCal announcers said as much) and the comments were that despite 7 face masks, CC got away with way too much

but the better team still won
 
its funny

DLS wins a playoff game 50-15 and drops from 3 to 8

they win a section championship game 37-0 and drop from 8 to 13

they win a state championship 37-31 and go from 13 to 1
 
Sure must be nice to be able to argue about who is the top team in the country!:rolleyes:

No thanks, I'll take my 14-1 2007 Ohio Division 4 State Champion team any day of the week.

These national polls are great for folks who want to get their panties in a bunch about their all-powerful team and its being shafted or crowned king of the hill.

Again, no thanks. I'll sit back with the rest of the commonfolk and get lost in anonymity.

Well, I guess Coldwater's not COMPLETELY anonymous on the national scene. The boys did get a couple mentions for knocking Mooney off the top of the heap!!!:cool:
 
Congrats to DLS from St X!!

consumerman,

Congrats to DLS from St X!!

Undefeated, state champs, #1 in the national poll...can't ask for the kids to do more. Well done.

As for all of the "bickering"...NWN, DLS and X can all claim #1...based on different polls. I am glad that all three are ranked #1 in various polls. I honestly believe that any of the three could beat any of the others on a given day on neutral fields.

Enjoys the accomplishment with the DLS faithful. From St X , a heartfelt congrats.

thank you for you nice comments

I am used to someone saying Team X played a better schedule or Team M has better athletes but rarely saying DLS had a great season and congrats,

you have class

I wish more people were like you

Be careful what you say about DLS strength of schedule. The DLS schedule is rated 18 points weaker PER GAME than the StX schedule (assuming you believe Calpreps).

Congrats to DLS regardless.
 
Yes, Consumerman, be careful.

You never know when some nut is going to take a shot at you, even though you're right.
 
MNW would "roll" DLS; Coldwater probably could give them a game. Calpreps sucks because they diss Florida, it's so evident. That is the matchup I would want to see. Florida vs. California. :cool:

Are you seriously arguing that the DLS schedule is on the same planet as the StX schedule?

Yeah, DLS played the #11 team but after that you will find 10 StX opponents that are all ranked higher than the 2nd best team that DLS played. The two schedules aren't even close.
 
No.

Unless Yappi has a feature where you can draw pictures with crayons of various colors, I don't know that there is a way to explain it so that you can understand it.

Well . . . . I suppose his argument that turn about is fair regarding the Calpreps model has merit, however, coming from a guy who has trashed the model many times the argument seems shallow.

Also, any arguement that DLS played anything close to a tough schedule is a total joke. Further, making an argument that DLS should claim a national title is very, very thin.

Probably . . . but to bad about Canyon, Clovis West, Mission Viejo, Bellvue, and the four other teams they didn't beat recently.

actually you aready have them all

MV Bellevue and CW in 2004
CW and MV in 2005
Canyon in 2006

that sums up ALL the opponents that have beat DLS since 1991

others have said if you are ranked #1 in at least 1 poll you can claim a national championship

DLS is ranked #1 in calpreps
 
Sure, you go undefeated and win a state championship in the largest classification of the largest state in the country, and you're just reaching to think you might have a claim to #1 in the country.
