I went through the Section II football master schedule and circled who I thought would be the winner of each game based on all of my preseason research. I've added up the totals, created a set of imaginary standings, figured out playoff pairings and played them through to determine a potential Super Bowl winner in each of the five classes in Section II.

Am I right? Am I wrong? Only time will tell, so feel free to sound off in the comments section in the meantime.
