Subject to proof-reading – please let me know of my typos and/or bad math - I had several typos last week and I need your eyes!

Alphabetical by record

Glassboro (7-0) beats Penns Grove 35-6; last year they won 33-0; they have outscored their first 7 opponents 310-31; they have outscored their 6 returning opponents 250-31 compared to 240-33 last year against the same teams; 19 game win streak (longest in South Jersey) – last loss in 2006 to Paulsboro – record indicates about equal to last year; probable 3rd seed in South Group 1

Palmyra (7-0) beats New Egypt 28-3; last year they lost 7-0; they have outscored their first 7 opponents 204-15; they have outscored their 6 returning opponents 174-9 compared to 120-49 last year against the same teams; 10 game win streak – last loss in 2007 to New Egypt – record indicates significant improvement from last year; probable top seed in South Group 1

Buena (6-0) beats Lower Cape May 41-6; last year they won 34-14; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 189-66; they have outscored their 5 returning opponents 176-60 compared to being outscored 143-85 last year against the same teams; 7 game win streak – last loss in 2007 to St. Augustine – record indicates significant improvement from last year

Buena beat PG 13-6 and Glassboro beat PG 35-6. Buena had the closest margin of victory against winless Millville. They get ranked last amongst the undefeated teams

Gloucester Catholic (6-0) beats Cumberland 28-14; last year they lost 16-13; they have outscored their 6 opponents 211-124; they have outscored their 5 returning opponents 169-117 compared to 90-48 last year against the same teams; 6 game win streak – last loss in 2007 to Holy Cross – record indicates improvement over last year

It is hard to know where to rank GC. I rank them above some of the other undefeated teams based on level of competition.

Paulsboro (6-0) beats Haddon Twp.20-0; last year they won 26-0; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 197-40; they have outscored their 5 returning opponents 152-33 compared to 130-14 last year against the same teams; 6 game win streak – last loss in 2007 to Glassboro – record indicates about equal to last year; probable 3rd seed in South Group 1

West Deptford (6-0) beats Haddonfield 43-0; last year they won 14-0; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 263-48; they have outscored their 4 returning opponents 173-28 compared to 83-46 last year against the same teams; 7 game win streak – last loss in 2007 to Paulsboro – record indicates significant improvement over last year

Paulsboro and West Deptford have common opponents Lindenwold, Audubon and Overbrook. Paulsboro has outscored them 110-33. WD has outscored them 132-27. I keep Paulsboro ahead of WD in my rankings based on the last meeting between the 2, but there is a logical argument for WD. So, consider them even.

So, Paulsboro and WD get ranked closely together. And they will play to decide it. Paulsboro will probably play Glassboro in round 2 and then the 3 can be reasonably compared. I will rank WD and Glassboro based on their scoring margin vs. Paulsboro and Paulsboro will be ranked based on their victories or losses to those teams. Right now they are ranked based on last year against each other. They would be 1, 2, 3 in Small School rankings, but GC looks really good and has a strong argument to be ranked closer to Glassboro. I can only rank Glassboro above them based on scrimmage, but they have greatly improved since then. Glassboro has more speed and more options on offense. WD may be better but must avenge their defeat last year to Paulsboro to move up.

Williamstown (6-0) beats Kingsway 35-13; last year they won 41-8; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 211-49; they have outscored their 4 returning opponents 143-34 compared to 110-28 last year against the same teams; 7 game win streak – last loss in 2007 to Eastern – record indicates some improvement from last year

Williamstown and Gloucester Catholic have 5 common opponents. Williamstown has outscored them 185-34 and GC has outscored those teams 183-110. GC won their last meeting. They play next week. I would normally rank GC ahead based on their last meeting, but there is a very strong argument for Williamstown based on scoring margin against common opponents, so Williamstown is highly ranked and is #2 amongst undefeated teams that I rank.

Camden Catholic (5-1) loses to powerful Shawnee 42-13; last year they did not play; they have outscored their 5 opponents 156-72; they have outscored their 3 returning opponents 88-16 compared to 90-33 last year against the same teams; record indicates some improvement from last year

Camden Catholic beat Delran 42-14 compared to Palmyra beating Delran 22-6 and they get ranked above Palmyra.

Haddonfield (5-1) loses to West Deptford 43-0; last year lost 14-0; they have outscored their 6 opponents 156-100; they have outscored their returning 5 opponents 122-93 compared to 86-49 last year against the same teams; record indicates some improvement from last year

Florence (5-1) beats Bordentown 25-6; last year they won 37-0; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 156-69; they have outscored their 4 returning opponents 110-35 compared to 182-28 last year against the same teams; record indicates significantly down in scoring margin from last year

Holy Cross (5-1) beats Cinnaminson 22-0; last year they won 24-0; they outscored their first 6 opponents 111-59; they have outscored their 3 returning opponents 43-41 compared to 79-13 last year against the same teams; – record indicates significantly down from last year

Florence and Holy Cross have common opponent Burlington City. Florence beat them 37-8 and Holy Cross beat them 27-6. Florence lost a a game in OT and Holy Cross lost a game by 27. So, Florence gets the edge.

Holy Spirit (5-1) beats Bridgeton 28-9; last year they won 55-7; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 215-48 compared to 288-41 last year against the same teams; record indicates a lower ranking than last year, but you can’t fault them for the big loss to Mainland after the way Mainland beat Hammonton this week – they deserve to be ranked higher than some of the undefeated teams.

Holy Spirit and Buena have common opponents Bridgeton, Pleasantville, LCM, Middle Twp. and LCM. HS has outscored them 182-15 and Buena has outscored them 155-45. HS gets ranked above Buena.

Holy Spirit has the closest margin of loss to very powerful Mainland. They get ranked above Palmyra and it is debatable whether they should be above CC. I’ll list CC ahead, but it is an even call.

Pennsville (5-1) beats Clayton 48-18; last year they won 48-0; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 191-123; they are been outscored by their first 4 returning opponents 124-93 compared to outscoring 137-34 last year against the same teams; record indicates significantly down in scoring margin from last year

Washington Twp. (5-1) beats Lenape 35-14; last year they won 28-27 they have outscored their first 6 opponents 173-84; they have outscored their 5 returning opponents 140-74 compared to 132-124 last year against the same teams; record indicates significant improvement from last year

Township gets ranked above all of the undefeated teams but Glassboro. They play a tough schedule and lost to a very good team. With one loss I can’t make them my top team, but I will give them the respect of making them my second ranked team.

Burlington Twp. (5-2) beats Camden 13-12; last year they won 26-14; they have outscored their first 7 opponents 136-82; they have been outscored by their 4 returning opponents 52-47 compared to outscoring 125-82 last year against the same teams – record indicates significantly down in scoring margin from last year

Clearview (4-2) beats Highland 47-7; last year they won 26-0; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 212-158; they have outscored their 5 returning opponents 137-118 compared to 54-53 last year against the same teams; record indicates similar to last year, but games are more high scoring

Cumberland (4-2) loses to Gloucester Catholic 28-14; last year they lost 16-13; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 161-103; they have outscored their 5 returning opponents 128-103 compared to 103-76 last year against the same teams; record indicates similar to last year in scoring margin, but one more loss than last year to same opponents

Delran (4-2) beats Maple Shade 33-27; last year they won 34-6; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 129-89; they have been outscored by their 4 returning opponents 98-78 compared to 96-100 last year against the same teams; record some improvement compared to last year

Delsea (4-2) beats Deptford 48-12; last year they won 21-20; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 189-133; they have outscored their 5 returning opponents 168-121 compared to 105-95 last year against the same teams (also 3-2); record indicates some improvement in scoring margins (but more scoring) as compared to last year

Delsea lost to Clearview. They have common opponent Gloucester Catholic. Delsea lost to GC 54-26 and Clearview lost 45-42. It is easy to rank Clearview ahead of Delsea.

Gloucester (4-2) beats Schalick 32-14; last year they lost 10-7; they have outscored their 6 opponents 190-82 compared to 138-87 last year against the same teams; record indicates significant improvement from last year

Gloucester and Pennsville have common opponents Glassboro, Pitman and Salem. Gloucester outscored them 83-43 and Pennsville was outscored by them 75-69. No problem ranking Gloucester above PV.

PG beat Gloucester by 1 at Gloucester after losing by 1 last year at PG. They are fairly even. They have 4 common opponents. PG has outscored them 123-35 and Gloucester has outscored them 128-57. PG gets ranked ahead based on head-to-head.

I have watched both Gloucester and Florence and based on observation only, I have to rank Gloucester above Florence. Gloucester lost to teams with a combined record of 11-2 and Florence lost to a team with a record of 3-3.

Haddon Heights (4-2) beats Sterling 17-6; last year they won 7-0; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 116-97; they have been outscored by their 4 returning opponents 66-49 compared to 55-31 last year against the same teams; record indicates similar to last year in scoring

New Egypt (4-2) loses to Palmyra 28-3; Last year they did won 7-0; they have been outscored by their first 6 opponents 119-102 they have been outscored by their 5 returning opponents 95-72 compared to outscoring 124-83 last year against the same teams; record indicates significantly down in scoring margin from last year

Penns Grove (4-2) loses to Glassboro 35-6; last year they lost 33-0; they have outscored their first 5 opponents 141-60; they have outscored their 5 returning opponents 136-47 compared to 145-55 last year against the same teams; record indicates one more win against returning opponents, but similar to last year in scoring

Pennsville and Penns Grove have common opponents Pitman and Clayton. PV won by a combined score of 84-32. PG won by 76-0. So, PG gets the edge. PG won their last meeting. PG lost to Buena 13-6 and Pennsville beat Middle Twp. 27-26. Buena beat Middle Twp. 47-17, so PG is ranked above PV as I doubt that PV could have beat Buena. See comparison of PV and PG to Gloucester above.

Woodbury (4-2) beats Audubon 27-13; last year they won 40-18; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 148-112; they have outscored by their 4 returning opponents 91-72 compared to outscoring the same teams 119-69 last year; record indicates significantly down in scoring margin from last year

Bishop Eustace (3-3) beat Wiilingboro 13-7; last year they did not play; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 97-79; they have been outscored by their 4 returning opponents 66-56 compared to 96-54 last year against the same teams; record indicates some improvement in scoring margin from last year

Woodrow Wilson (3-3) did not play; they have outscored their first 6 opponents 115-99; they have been outscored by their 2 returning opponents 26-20 compared to being outscored 48-12 last year against the same teams; record indicates some improvement over last year

Bridgeton/Schalick/Haddon Twp./Bishop Eustace – none of them has beaten a winning team. I could rank them in any order so I will go with they left off last year (Bridgeton #11, Schalick #17, Haddon Twp. #24 and BE #28).

Woodrow Wilson is better than any of them and beat a winning team. St. Joe’s gets the highest ranking of the 3 win teams. Collingswood barely beat Overbrook and gets the lowest ranking.

It is hard to know where to rank GC. I rank them above some of the other undefeated team based on level of competition, but that is debatable.

Haddonfield (5-0) beats Haddon Twp. 21-18; last year they won 30-0 they have outscored their 5 opponents 156-57; they have outscored their returning 4 opponents 122-50 compared to 86-35 last year against the same teams; 7 game win streak - last loss in 2007 to West Deptford – record indicates some improvement from last year

Paulsboro (5-0) did not play; they have outscored their first 5 opponents 177-40; they have outscored their 4 returning opponents 132-33 compared to 104-14 last year against the same teams; 5 game win streak – last loss in 2007 to Glassboro – record indicates slightly, but not significantly better than last year; probable 3rd seed in South Group 1

Paulsboro and Haddonfield have common opponents Woodbury and Overbrook. Paulsboro beat them 72-20 and Haddonfield beat them 62-19. Very slight edge to Paulsboro, but Paulsboro is ranked ahead of Haddonfield based on last meeting between the two.

Paulsboro and West Deptford have common opponents Lindenwold, Audubon and Overbrook. Paulsboro has outscored them 110-33. WD has outscored them 132-27. I keep Paulsboro ahead of WD in my rankings based on the last meeting between the 2, but there is a logical argument for WD. So, consider them even.

West Deptford and Haddonfield have common opponents Overbrook and Sterling. WD beat them 94-37 and Haddonfield beat them 72-21. Very slight edge to WD.

So, Paulsboro, WD and Haddonfield get ranked closely together. And they will play to decide it.
