In my opinion Athlete for athlete Milford is better than any 1A school every year. I'm just talking about raw physical ability.

Team Records
Milford 12-0
Strawn 12-0
Ranking
Milford 1
Strawn 3
Pretty even match-up those far...
For these next numbers, opponents Wylie Prep (Milford) and Fort Worth THESA (Strawn) are not included. No offense to those schools.
8 points. Milford beat Bryson by 1, they're gone. They beat Garden City by 5, they're gone. 8 points over 2 games and they'd be 11-2. Yeah they have had a tougher schedule but they didn't dominate those two. Yes they finally not only beat but 45'd a banged up Richland Springs. As I mentioned elsewhere how about their one common opponent? Both 45'd Crowell, Milford gave up 3 TD's, then 71 to Oakwood. Strawn shut them out in the playoff's. Just throwing this out there.
Number of Top 10 Ranked teams defeated
Milford 6 (including defending State Champions)
Strawn 1 (including playoff victory against Crowell)
Average ranking of opponent
Milford - 24.27
Strawn - 39.54
Average Record of opponents
Milford - Wins 7.18 Losses - 4
Strawn - Wins 4.54 Losses - 6.44
Now, we all know...there are lies, d**n lies and then there are statistics. But, it certainly appears that Milford has made it through a much tougher schedule. Logic would say they should be strongly favored. Just throwing this out there.

Jonesboro vs Tioga and Milford vs Strawn. I don't see anyone leaving these game if they only could have played them on Saturday.
