who is for real

So as I was hanging out this weekend I ran into a few people that actually read my blog and actually like my high school rankings. But as we talked about things, one question that kept coming up was why Tattnall was ranked so high when they may not be as good as the ranking. Yes it is a well known fact that they are undefeated, but the schedule has been, well , its been terrible actually. But I mean my question is can you really take away the fact that they are undefeated even though they have played a crappy schedule. I think at this point you cant. It will catch up with them soon enough.
Lets focus on the four private schools in the GHSA. I want you to see exactly what these teams have seen so far and what they will see.
Tattnall
The Trojans are undefeated so far but the three schools they have played have a combined 1-11 record. The next two schools they play are a combined 2-5. So lets see, that means the first five game the Trojans play will be against schools with a combined 3-16 record.
Stratford
The Eagles schedule is a tad bit more difficult but not much. So far they are 3-0 and the teams they have played are a combined 2-9. They have Lincoln County next and they are 1-2 but then they have Mount de Sales and they are 3-1. So the combined first five game record for them will be 6-12.


FPD
The Vikings are 3-1 and lost to the only team they have played that has a win. The combined 4 game record of the teams they have played is 3-12 and the next two teams are 1-7 combined. That equals up to 4-19 over the first six games.


Mount de Sales
The ever improving Cavaliers have played teams that are currently 6-11 and take away 0-5 Pacelli and it is 6-6. They played Howard a close game and Howard has proved to be a very good football team at 4-1.


Does having such a weak schedule help or hurt a program. Last season it was much the same thing and Tattnall made a nice playoff run. I think it has to do a lot with a team that needs confidence and a team that doesn't. Tattnall, last year was coming off a dreadful season and they needed wins to build that confidence. This year they are playing very inexperienced kids so being able to play such a soft schedule early has been good for them. The schedule will get tough soon enough.


FPD worries me because they lost to the only decent team they  played. I have been told 20 times at least that FPD was the better team but they lost the game at home. They have the quarterback and they have the receivers and they have big athletic kids so  why cant they win games they are supposed to ?


Mount de Sales had the biggest win in years when they beat Aquinas last Friday to move to 3-1. If we are talking about a team that needs confidence this is one of them. I feel like they can start believing Keith Hatcher when he tells them that they can compete with the better programs. They ran the ball right at Aquinas with Cotton going over 200 yards and that is the brand of physical football that they have not been able to play over the last few years.


Lets not even make it a question that all of these teams have to get by Stratford to win the region , but I think the schedule hurts them a little bit. The Eagles need to be playing good football teams every week because they are the cream of the crop this year. You don't have to believe me now but you will believe me later
So who is for real ?
That's a tough question for me right now. I fully believe Stratford is for real but can Mount de Sales take that step and be the number 2 private school team over FPD and Tattnall. I say they are closer but cant make the jump and beat any of the other three.
As far as FPD and Tattnall match the talent and its a landslide for FPD. That however has not mattered lately, especially last year.
I will take Tattnall and that coaching staff to be the second best out of these four
