*It just takes some time* 
*Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride* 
*Everything, everything will be just fine* 
*Everything, everything will be all right, all right*

- *The Middle by Jimmy Eat World*

It's the fifth week of the high school football regular season, which means we are right in the middle of 2021\. In most years, by the first weekend of October, there is a pretty good idea of which teams are fighting for the postseason and which teams are trying to play spoiler.

Not this year. Between COVID-19 cancelations and upsets throughout the state, it's a little harder to figure out who is a contender and who is a pretender. Good thing our "experts" are here to confuse you even more.

With the utmost confidence, here are the picks.
