I think the top of the Heritage is Better than the Westpac but westpac is the deeper conference. At this point no team from either conference would beat penns manor with how they are playing now.

Enough of the speculation... The record belongs to the westpac this season. I think they were a much more rounded conference. I would loved to have seen Berlin and pm play but that won't happen. Portage is good this season and I think will continue to grow. I still have to think that pm has the potential to repeat if healthy. There's a lot of good quality teams out there this year, the question will be who's hot during playoff time.

i would love to see the 2 conferences combine and reform the Appalachian. With 20 teams make (2) 10 team divisions. Play weeks 1-9 in division. Then cross over in week 10. Have the 2 first place winners play in a Championship game at the point. Then all the others play across with the team that finished in the same place. Rotate which teams are home by division each year. 1 option would be to move Blacklick in with the Heritage teams or move Ligonier to the westpac and Blacklick and Portage to the Heritage. Would be nice wont happen though.

I think we are going to have to wait for the playoffs to end to get a real decision

I wish they had crossed over games this last week. Have top none teams play each other. Then there would be no speculation. Best against best worst against worse. Middle against middle
