Currently the Week 11 match-ups are ....

Friday November 7:

• Walsh Jesuit at Midview (Region 4: #8 vs. #1)  
• Avon at Nordonia (Region 4: #6 vs. #3)
• Keystone at Wooster Triway (Region 12: #8 vs. #1)  
• Firelands at #13 in Region 12  

Saturday November 8:

• Lorain at Westerville Central (Region 1: #14 vs. #3)
• Elyria Catholic at Coldwater (Region 16: #7 vs. #2)
• Columbia at #9 in Region 16

Next the county races:

• The PAC Stars Division has Buckeye with a share of the title. They would clinch the title outright with a win at Firelands. Keystone needs to win at Black River and hope the Falcons defeat the Bucks.
  
• In the PAC Stripes, Columbia has clinched the championship for the third time in as many years. With a win against Clearview tonight, the Raiders can make the post-season for also the third year in a row. 
• Note: In the Patriot Athletic Conference, teams earn two points for a division win.
  
• Midview is your West Shore Conference champion for the first time ever. It's the Middies first football conference championship since 1999.
• In the Southwestern Conference, Berea-Midpark is your champion in just the 2nd year of existence.

Tonight's big match-up is Berea-Midpark hosting Midview in a non-conference game. It's a match-up of the WSC champion Middies and the SWC champion Titans. Next year, Midview joins the Southwestern Conference.

For the third week in a row, I went 17-4 with my picks. Jeremy was off last week at 12-9. I need to go 17-3 this week to ensure a 80.000% for the year.
