State Bowl Game Implications
OK, trying to figure out the state bowl game picture is either very easy or more complicated than the BCS, depending on how much weight you place on the common opponent question. Right now, it looks as if Birmingham only has to worry about Corona Centennial because it beat Long Beach Poly, quite convincingly, in Week 1.
Corona Centennial of course, beat Crespi, the team that beat Birmingham in a Week 0 game, so Corona Centennial would probably get the nod, if common opponent was the deciding factor.
But, how do you evaluate Centennial's loss to Mater Dei now that Crespi came back and beat Mater Dei last night? And what if Crespi then goes on to beat Servite and Long Beach Poly? Birmingham beat Notre Dame, which beat Servite... See where this is going? And you thought the BCS was complicated.
Birmingham's best argument is it's quality wins over Poly, Notre Dame and Valencia. It should also push the argument that it's going to be a long time before the City Section has another team that has as good a chance to compete against DLS.
Centennial's best win was over Crespi, and to a lesser extent, Norco. And that win over Crespi is looking better and better by the day.
Of course, both teams will need to win Section titles, so all this could be moot if one loses.
