Ellet currently sits in 6th place for the playoffs, however they play 1-8 North this week, Will that week one forfeit end up costing them a playoff spot. They lost 5.5 Level one points and 5.5 Level Two points. Let me know what you think.
Yea i would have to agree with you dex it would be a good thing to see somebody represent the city series in the playoffs. Best of luck to the Orangemen
Agreed ... if Ellet wins and any of Kenston, Warren Howland, or Madison loses, then they're almost certainly in. If everybody wins, then Ellet still has a slight (13%) chance of beating out Madison, based on L2 points.
If Ellet gets upset, it wouldn't matter if Madison loses, and probably not if Howland loses (and Madison wins). If Ellet and Kenston lose and the other two win, then Kenston probably gets the #8 spot, but it's not a sure thing, as Ellet could get enough help to take it.
If Ellet somehow does not make it in, it won't be for lack of opportunities. They had one against Tallmadge. If they would've beat them, they'd for sure be in, regardless of the Springfield game
FWIW, Springfield only would be giving Ellet 4.5 L2s for its win over Canton CC. Ellet's current situation would be no different with the win over Ellet. They'd still be sitting 6th, and their max out number (assuming a week 10 loss by Springfield) would still be lower than those of Howland, Kenston, and Madison. We won't know if the forfeit ultimately costs the Orangemen a playoff spot until the end of the weekend.
My feeling is that Kenston will lose to Aurora, and that'll be Ellet's way in. Madison could also lose to Riverside, but that's less likely to me than Kenston beating Aurora. Aurora still has too much to play for themselves to let that game get away too easily. I think Howland will beat Struthers, so Ellet is looking at a 7th or 8th seed.

They did? When...before the game started? No offense, but they really didn't have a missed opportunity against Tallmadge. A missed opportunity would be the Springfield game, a game they SHOULD win, DID win, then forfeited.

Aurora is VERY beat up right now. I would not be surprised to see Kenston beat Aurora.
First things first, any score on the Ellet/ North game? Former staff from Ellet, now at North could make this game interesting. Not sure why they played this game Today?

That's what I meant, "before the game started." IF Ellet had beaten Tallmadge, they'd be in a better position regarding the playoffs. I'm only talking about the opportunity to play
Speaking of Ellet, they were scheduled to play North tonight, but I can't find a result anywhere. Does anyone know if they played tonight or not? What's the deal?

When tallmadge beat ellet , ellet just found out of the forfiet to spartans just days before. Also ellet was plagued by injuries when tallmadge put it on them. Now with ellet.s backs back from injuries their running game took off. A talented group of sophmores who torched buchtel and garfield teams that are generally known for speed. Buchtel played tough d1 teams to start that explains their 500 record. Remember buchtel is coached by an ex nfl back. Ellet is better than you think. They are healthy now and playing with heart I gaurentee the outcome would be diff in rematch.

I am not saying could beat tallmadge I am saying it would be a hard played game. A 20 year playoff drought should.be enough to motivate a team. I am an underdog fan woul love to see ellet hang in there a few rounds.

Stop it! Don't you know if Ellet had 5 guys hurt, Tallmadge had 6 hurt. If Ellet has speedy backs, Tallmadge has guys that outran Usain Bolt. Talented sophomores? Tallmadge had sophmores that could start for most BCS schools. Get your facts straight lb05!!!!!!!
Tallmadge has never lost a game, just ran out of time.

Not making excuses ellet did have injuries tallmadge def is more experienced ellet does have a young group. There is a reason tallmadge is the beast of region 5 they are the best they did lose to d3 ravenna. Whether overtime or not. Tallmadge had a brutal schedule this year and they deserve #1 seed. I was just saying ellet isnt gonna be a push over thats all. Tallmadge is a physical team not known for speed. Ellet does have some shifty backs. That do not have size they have speed. I am happy to see a team in that hasnt been in 20 years. The city has generated more talent to d1 and nfl then suburban league. and thats a fact
Madison lost, Howland won, and New Philadelphia got enough L2 help to stay above Ellet's final average of 18.25, so Ellet should be the 7th seed when all the dust settles. That would put the Orangemen up against Kent Roosevelt.
Incidentally, the Springfield forfeit may have been enough to cost Ellet the 6th seed since Springfield beat Field to be worth a few more points than previously expected.

Please include alliance win over marlington. Which should give ellet a little help ur rt though I think howland had a tough win too which they will climb up to 6 and ellet would drop to 7 or even 8. Buchtel would of helped with win over big red but they lost 21-18

Alliance's win was included in my calculations. Once Eitel recognizes Howland's win, Howland will move up to the 5th seed, New Philadelphia will be 6th, Ellet 7th, and Kenston 8th. The top 4 seeds will be: Tallmadge, Kent, Aurora, and Chardon in that order.

from what I heard, Ellet coach didn't think it was fair to his kids taking the ACT test Saturday morning to play the night before. So he asked the game be changed to Thursday evening. At Ellet of course.
