A run? None of them. They'll be lucky to get more than one team into the postseason.
I'll bet the PAC gets 2 or 3 teams into the playoffs (unless the league totally stinks up the joint during nonconference play), but I agree with you on the part about none of them making a run.
If CVCA gets into the playoffs they have a tough road in the region they're in. Manchester could make some noise depending on how far their QB can take them. I don't know much more about the rest of the PAC. One of the good things about living in Ohio again is that I'll be able to follow the league a little more closely. I do think Indian Valley could be the sleeper in the PAC this year.

Here's my reasoning. I think CVCA will win the PAC and go 8-2 overall. That should be good enough for them to get into the bottom four of D3 R9. They won't last beyond Week 11. Manchester will finish second in the PAC, lose all of their out of conference games and finish 6-4. That will leave them on the outside looking in in D4 R13. If one of the other PAC teams goes 2-1 out of conference they may make it in, but I am suspect of that happening.

I think Manchester probably makes it into the R13 playoffs again. I could also see a team like IV sneaking into the R15 playoffs if they can surround their stud sophomore RB with any kind of talent.
Of course, so much depends on the other league schools winning some nonleague games, and that may be asking too much.

Very interesting. So you have Woodridge losing to C.V.C.A. who they beat last season and beating Manchester who they lost to last season. Any particular reason for your prediction? I'm just curious and looking to start discussion.

Where do you come up with him saying Woodridge will lose to CVCA? He said they go 8-2. If I had to guess he is assuming CVCA runs the PAC schedule with losses to the Woodridge and Norwayne in ooc play. It's not like Woodridge dominated the game in week 1 last year. They won 16-13 riding the leg of the kicker. Not many teams have guys that can kick a 53 yarder as easy as Niswander makes it look.

Well, when he predicted CVCA to go 8-2 who would you suggest the 2 losses would be to if he has them beating Manchester? I never said Woodridge dominated CVCA by the way you did. Also, you do know that Niswander returns so I guess it could happen again from 53?

That's about what I was thinking. I'm not sure which OOC teams they'll lose to, but 8-2 and a first round loss in the postseason is what I'm thinking.

As usual, you're going to sleep on Manchester. I think history has shown you do so at your own peril!

Not sleeping on them at all. They're just not going to be very good. They'll do ok in the PAC, but they are going to have problems. The Manchester QB is good but I don't think he has much of a supporting cast. Plenty of people on here have said as much. I don't think the problems on defense will be solved either. If you give up points and you can't score points where does that leave you? I predicted 6-4 for Manchester but I would not be surprised if they go 5-5 or 4-6.

I don't disagree. I feel it takes more talent than just a good QB to win a lot of games in HS (especially in the higher divisions), but I'm also not sold that the majority of the PAC teams will be all that good this year either.
Heard from a friend of mine who used to be on staff at Maryland and who is now at Princeton that Manchester's QB is getting some looks from some Ivy's. Must be a bright boy!
I heard something interesting from a friend of mine at Northwest. He says he's heard Manchester has inquired about Coldwater's Week Two openings in 2013 and 2014. That would be something if it happens.

Where the hell do you get this stuff? Never mind, I know. I haven't heard anything lilke that. Doubtful.
