Ohio high school football playoff picks: Who wins in Week 12?

By Eric Frantz Nov 7, 2018, 12:00am

Eric Frantz, Drew Pasteur and Ned Freeman go head-to-head...who we think wins in the regional semifinals.

Top 25 high school football rankings
A look at this week's Xcellent 25 high school football rankings presented by the Army National Guard.

Who wins in Week 12? Man versus machine continues. For the past eight years I've picked Ohio high school postseason games against Drew Pasteur's Fantastic 50 formula. And I've done well. This season we again add Need Freeman's CalPreps picks into the mix. Who wins the picks comp this year? We'll find out in four weeks.

As for last week? The Fantastic 50 won. Drew Pasteur’s formula correctly picked 89 out of 112 regional quarterfinal games. CalPreps got 86 right. I netted 84. Yuck. None of us had a perfect (16-0) division, and I was the only one to go 15-1 in any classification (did it in IV and VII). I was also the only one to not win at least 10 games in every division (went 9-7 in III).

Below is a comprehensive look at who each of us thinks wins this year's regional semifinals. Last year I got 46 games right at this level. The Fantastic50 and CalPreps? 45. Encore?
