Puh-leeze, NOTHING predicts gametime success well except gametime success. Rank on PL all you want, but FB practices, drills and scrimmages don't predict well, either. A recent example is how W'field is 3-0 and looking good despite losing ta scrimmage to DeMatha 52-6.

Korean golf, maybe you didn't notice that the winners of every major PL tourney (UVA, UMD, GC and Coolidge) have good FB programs: GC, Friendship Collegiate, Kenton Academy (OH), etc. As for the D-lineman missing from PL, they get trapped by smart teams who do more than just base block. Plus, they clog the passing lanes a lot less vs. teams who force D's to play the entire field with posts, go's, wheels, outs and unders. Want examples? See the D6 and D5 title games last year: O. Smith 47, C'Ville 21; Phoebus 20, SoCo 10. Again, nothing predicts gametime success except gametime success--not PL or anything else.
