3. Olentangy Berlin Bears (1-2)

After opening the season with a pair of losses inside the Olentangy school district, Berlin bounces back with a D1 win over Hilliard Darby. The back half of the schedule will be much lighter for the Bears and I expect them to win out the remainder of the regular season.

Week 1: L; 28-42 to Westerville South

5. Big Walnut Golden Eagles (2-1)

The Eagles have yet to notch a big win, but hung in there against Westerville South in week 2. They will be tested in their next matchup against the Wolves of Kilbourne.

Week 1: W; 14-6 over Delaware Hayes

Loss: 41-50 @Westerville South

Up Next: Worthington Kilbourne (2-1)

Also Considered: Worthington Kilbourne, Canal Winchester, Teays Valley
