Agree--it's no surprise to see who is left in D6-NR. Playing a Concorde sched def gets you ready for playoffs.
Nothing against prior SB teams, but maybe it doesn't help to play a Liberty sched of S.Lakes, Marshall, TJ, Mad, McLean and Langley.
This year's SB team is special--balance and talent all over. I saw the Langley game and can see why nobody has come within 2 TDs ofthem, including Robinson and 'Tilly. They could drop 40 on Langley this Fri and should easily handle the winner of South County-Yorktown.
