Some did, but the majority did not. My comment was based on the polls for each thread. I viewed your site and will take the slight advantage in the Hanover game as your ratings are accurate. Still Hanover is a good team and wore us down in the first match up. Not really confident.
Hey bossman. I just checked. Your ratings may have picked Dinwiddie, but you chose Monacan. See for yourself. Hmmm. Didn't trust your computer? You and your computer have done well. Just poking fun.

Thanks. The Rich. Times Dispatch ran an article and I think they said a 15 seed had never won a game. And I was thinking Waynesboro had been a 15 seed. So thinks for correcting my memory. DP
REmember, the computer never watches a game and predicts every game in the state. It doesn't know anything but final scores. It doesn't even know what a football looks like.
I had run the ratings one time early in the week and found a mistake. When I reran the ratings correctly, Dinwiddie came out on top.
If anyone is interested, the mistake was caused by those darn rainouts when we were supposed to get hit by the hurricane. I had to add in some half weeks during the season. This caused me to mess up a divider the last two weeks of the regular season and I treated those games like playoff games. Playoff games get slightly bigger adjustments than end of the season regular season games.
II think the computer predictions are neat. I know they don't have a personal interest or have a bias against a team. That's why it's neat to see how humanoids do against computers.
I figured that's why I said you would be rich if you could figure it out. I have been following your picks all season. HS football appears to be more consistent as there are fewer upsets.
Yes, you need a padded room, but it has nothing to do with football.
This article was my fault, not anyone associated with the Salem program. I had no idea the stuff it would stir up, and honestly had no intentions of causing a stink. I really appreciate Gilliams Ratings and just saw that the ratings had them as a heavy favorite and wondered if they were that big of favorites by the people as well as the computer. I simply like to talk high school sports on here, not try to get people emotions going. Needless to say, posting the poll was a lesson learned on my part.
I don't know you sir, but you have my respect. Right or wrong you owned up to your post. Keep posting sir.
When I saw the 39 point spread by the GilliamRatings I did some figuring and said based on point differential between common opponents between Pulaski and Salem the line should be 29. Salem won 42-13 so the 29 point differential was spot on. It was weird how that worked out.
Classy statement, however, the vast majority of the good people on here have already bought feed for your chickens...LOL!
Good game to go to with Giles. VHSL-REFERENCE & Maxpreps considers them Salem, but they are Roanoke Co. Maybe if they win another championship Salemites will finally claim them?
