Savannah Prep Football Playoff Predictions Nov. 14th 2008
Well for some teams it was their second round playoff game and for others the first. My predications yesterday morning were a little with the heart, but how can you go against Jack Miller. I will be entering my 30th year of being involved in high school football. I just hope I can make it to my 53rd like Coach Miller did.
To Coach Miller a local Savannah product you made us all proud. Congratulations on a fantastic year and Career. You will surely be missed by the St. Andrew’s community and of course the Savannah Area Prep Football Community.
Here are my predictions from Karl’s Korner” on the Bill Edwards show on WTKS 1290 AM. You can listen to my predictions and high school prep stars and guest every Friday morning at 7 am on the “Big One” WTKS 1290 AM.

RANKING FORMULA –
First each team is given 100 points to start. Then for each win we give them 50 points. Next we take the schedule into consideration and give them 5 more points for each win their opponents have and then divide that number by the number of games the team has played. We then come up with a power rating to rank the teams. Then we can subjectively rank the teams by comparing this information.

Savannah Area Week #8 Prep Sports Report Prep Football Poll
Savannah Area Week #8 Prep Sports Report Prep Football Poll 10/15/2008
Doing a lot of research on the Georgia prep football polls the past couple of days. I came across three popular polls, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Georgia AP prep football poll, and the GaSports.com/GACA Coaches Football Poll. Basically the polls have the same teams in their top 10 positions and of course there are some slight differences. I will say it is nice to see Savannah Christian from the Savannah area to get some kind of recognition.
Why do I say this? If we look at head to head competition. Savannah Christian took the #1 team, Emanuel County Institution to the wire. Yes, I know they lost in the last minute of the game, but that should prove that they should be higher in these polls. So, take a look and you compare these polls and let me know what you think.
I have also included my Savannah Area Prep Football Poll based on some key factors. It is explained and it is a system that I was involved when I coached in another state and I think it works well. I know I am the only one using a subjective point of view when I rank these teams. So, I left the teams based on the formula and if I get enough opinions we can come up with one common poll. I will post my Prep Sports Report Pigskin Picks tomorrow night. Looking forward to another “Friday Under the Lights.”
