Notes

Rankings are biased: average of all team in Western Iowa = average of all teams in MVC = average of all teams in MAC

Big Wins

Newly #1 Pleasant Valley, a pregame 11-point favorite, blows out #16 Bettendorf, 38-0.

Escapes

#2 Ankeny escaped with a 28-21 win over #7 Southeast Polk. Ankeny had been a 19-point home favorite.

#13 Cedar Falls, pregame 30-point home favorites, win 17-16 over #24 Waterloo West.

Upsets

#5 Urbandale stays undefeated after a 35-27 upset win over #4 WDM Dowling. Urbandale entered the contest as a large 16-point underdog.

#14 Waukee, a pregame 5-point underdog, defeated #18 Johnston 45-29

Championship Contenders Watch

Championship contenders will be announced 09/22. The top 5 teams in the week 5 BCMoore Rankings win 88% of the championships.

MVC

#13 Cedar Falls championship watch may have ended on Friday night. A one-point victory over #24 Waterloo West is just not the story of a championship season. Computer drops them to 4th place in the MVC behind #6 Xavier, #8 Iowa City West, and #10 Iowa City High.

Much anticipation will continue to build for the 10/05 Battle of the Boot. West is current a 7-point favorite over City.

MAC

Considerable human doubt surrounded Pleasant Valley’s double digit road favorite status in the 09/14 battle against Bettendorf. Postgame, there is no doubt: Pleasant is the new leader of the MAC. #11 Muscatine remains undefeated and will host Pleasant Valley on 9/28. BCMoore Rankings currently projects Pleasant Valley as a 34-point favorite.

Western Iowa

Ankeny retains its spot on top of the Western Iowa rankings.

Sioux City East, undefeated in 4A play, follows closely behind at #3. East has two important games upcoming: a 10/04 home game against #5 (4-0) Urbandale and a 10/19 road game against #9 WDM Valley.

#5 Urbandale is definitely the newcomer to the Western Iowa spotlight, after wins over #18 Johnston in week 3 and #4 Dowling in week 4. Urbandale has two big tests in the future, both away: 09/28 at WDM Valley and 10/04 at Sioux City East.

Game of the Week

#11 Muscatine travels to #16 Bettendorf as a slight 2-point favorite. Undoubtedly, Bettendorf does not wish to lose twice consecutively at home …
