Ohio high school football playoff picks: who wins?

By Eric Frantz Nov 9, 2016, 12:00am

Eric Frantz, Drew Pasteur, Ned Freeman go head-to-head...who we think wins in Week 12

Video: Franklin vs Tippecanoe highlights
Watch Ryan Montgomery lead the Wildcats back from a 21-0 deficit to beat the Red Devils 41-40 in a D-III regional quarterfinal.

Man versus machine continues. And it was not a good week for the mortal in the opening round. For the past six years I've picked Ohio high school postseason games against Drew Pasteur's Fantastic 50 formula. This season we are adding Need Freeman's CalPreps picks in the fold. In Week 11, I finished last with 87 wins. The Fan 50 had 91 correct games and CalPreps led the charge with 94.

Now Week 12.

Drum roll. Below is a comprehensive look at who thinks who wins second round games.
