Pete's Top-10: playoff edition

Well it's finally the postseason and this is the time of year that everyone has been waiting for. Unfortunately, computers have nudged their way into the process of making this fair, as you'll see below with some of the matchups.

But like they say, it is what it is.

1. Parkland (8-2)

Last week's rank: #1

Just goes to show you that power points still are not the answer when determining postseason seedings. It's a travesty that these two teams are playing this week.

The Pick: Parkland 21- Easton 14

2. Whitehall (8-2)

Last week's rank: #2

Tough opener for the Zephs.

The Pick: Whitehall 38- Delaware Valley 27

3. Easton (9-1)

Last week's rank: #3

Should be a feisty tilt at Cottingham.

The Pick: Parkland 21- Easton 14

4. Catasauqua (10-0)

Last week's rank: #4

Will the team of destiny keep it rockin?

The Pick: Catasauqua 35- Northern Lehigh 17

5. Stroudsburg (9-1)

How convenient to play the same team in as many weeks. Thanks power points!

Should be a rather simple ride to another district title.

7. Pleasant Valley (7-3)

Not ranked

Guess they deserve a spot.

The Pick: Stroudsburg 24- Pleasant Valley 21

Knights have edge this week.

These guys are sputtering, but can they salvage something this season?

The Pick: Nazareth 31- East Stroudsburg North 17

10. Emmaus (5-5)

Eastern Conference it is. Could we see the bottom two teams play next week?
