Three road games, three dominant performances. Makes my point even stronger that 7-3 Pennridge should have been in the field of 16.
 
Well, two Pennsbury fumbles led to 14 DTW points, plus I still can't figure out why they faked a 27 yd FG. Agree about the draws, but not sure either gets to the final. I like UDublin getting to the D1 final.
 
Patton can you expand on your assessment of upper Dublin being a paper tiger? I have not seen them and you're the first person to speak negatively of them. Would love to hear more.
 
Compared to the physicality that Neshaminy and Pennsbury play with week in and week out, in addition to the caliber of opponents, it does not compare to Upper Dublin's slate of games.

Paper tiger is a little strong. They have put together a perfect team for D1. In D1 few teams pass so UD just puts 8 in the box and fills all the gaps. They match up well to Neshaminy and Pennsbury, I expect they will face Pennsbury again in the semis. Last year it was 8 in box and I expect the same this year. NP and DTE will give them fits as they can pass. So would Quakertown. Is there any other D1 team left that can pass?

They are not overly big or fast and have no top college level players. Their best lineman transferred from Lasalle so he can get on the field. They have a nice kicker who transferred in from NJ while living with his grandparents.

As for D1 seeding, the point system is pretty off as a way to get seeded. 5 of 8 underdogs won last weekend. Not really any reason for a team like UD to beef up their schedule. Beat up on weak teams and get the 3 seed. They will probably go into the D1 Semis with the 21 point win against Horsham as their closest game.
