Mike Says: In Division I, we have a new face as our championship pick. Goliad looks to have all the tools to make it to the championship game. It will be tough as we have them going up against last years Runner Up Brock. In Division II, we have a dream matchup of Newton vs. Canadian. Canadian will be especially battle tested as they will have had 2 games against my personal #1 pick Childress on their way to the big game.

Chris Says: This is going to be a great classification to watch all year. While we have Goliad facing Brock in the title game, you really can't overlook a great team like Atlanta. And heck, Goliad will have their hands full with Franklin too - which means we could just as easily see Atlanta and Franklin in the DI title game. Jump over to DII and there it starts with Canadian - but they will have one of their toughest tests in district and the Region crown against Childress. Newton is expected to return to the big game but there are a ton of great squads ready to challenge. I think Canadian and Newton are safe bets though.
