You can't compare in conference records as though they were absolutes. That's just crazy home cookin. I mean is 4-6 Amity better than Danbury, Warde, or Trumbull? No way. I also think if Greenwich or Darien played in the SCC this season, both would have made the playoffs. I will say that Xavier probably beats Norwalk but against Staples, I don't know.

Let's take a look at those 6 losses Amity had:

vs. West Haven (7-3)
vs. Hand (10-0)
vs. Xavier (10-0)
vs. Fairfield Prep (5-5)
vs. Shelton (8-2)
vs. North Haven (9-1)

Amity really isn't too bad of a team. They're usually really tough to play. But that schedule is pretty tough.
 
With all due respect kris and Boots, you guys don't have a frkin clue. All your home cookin stats won't make a cake, OK. Name the last time an SCC team with 2 or 3 losses won a CIAC championship, never, but it has happened several times with FCIAC clubs. Why do you think SCC teams like Xavier or Valley powers like Ansonia never play OOC games against FCIAC powers? Reason, because they don't want to risk that 1 loss and a ruined unblemished season.

Hillhouse won the Class M last season with 3 losses. How's your foot taste?
 
I would say two years ago the FCIAC looked like the toughest league in the state. Last year seemed to be a wash. This year? I'm not real sure. I watched Danbury-Bethel in the preseason and Bethel looked much more physical than the Hatters. When I watched Greenwich this year they just looked a lot less physical and talented than previous years Greenwich teams. Those are just examples.

I think if the FCIAC was broken down in a similar manner to the SCC - for example let's say this:

FCIAC Division 1 North
Danbury
Ridgefield
Trumbull
Darien
New Canaan

FCIAC Division 1 South
Greenwich
Staples
Stamford
Central
Norwalk

FCIAC Division 2 East
Westhill
McMahon
Harding
Bassick

FCIAC Divison 2 West
Wilton
Warde
Ludlowe
Trinity Cath
St. Joe's

Then schedule like the SCC does with their Div 1 and Div 2 formats, then sure the FCIAC Div 1 would be just as brutal as SCC Div 1 schedules. But that's not how they do it. Each of the better teams usually face 2-3 really tough games. Sometimes 4. If Xavier had to play a FCIAC Div 1 schedule, it would be a real tough road. But nobody in the FCIAC currently plays that type of schedule.
Interesting but I don't think it would work, this or that coach would hate it. I mean isn't McMahon L or LL and the other three Mor S? An L or LL coach in the North bracket might scream unfair.

Amity can't be that good if they lost to Fairfield Prep. Prep sucks, though they are better than they were when they went 0-10 last year or the year before. Though it does make my point, Amity loses to 5 Valley or SCC clubs with stellar records and it's 6th loss is to lowly Fairfield Prep.

Do your homework. Talk about not having a freaking clue.

He is obviously fishing. SCC is and has been the toughest conference in the state the last 15 years. FCIAC. Good stuff. A notch above the CCC at best.

I know who they lost to, but I guess you don't want to say. I understand. Better yet, who did they beat for the title, and what was their record?

I know who they lost to and who they beat so. You said, an SCC team with 3 losses "NEVER" won a state title. You sir, were wrong. It doesn't matter who they lost to or who they beat, the fact is, an SCC team has won a state title with 3 losses. That foot must taste really good.
 
I'm an FCIAC guy, but the SCC has more depth. The bottom of the FCIAC (Bassick, Harding, Westhill, Ludlowe etc.) is really bad.
Jonathan Law is the worst team this year in the SCC and 3 years ago went 9-1.

You know as well as I that Bassick and Harding were recent and controversial additions to the FCIAC when the old MBIAC was dissolved. A lot of the FCIAC teams didn't want them. I will say though that Harding was once a state power in football as was Ludlowe.

What I mean't to say was that several FCIAC teams with 2 or 3 losses have won CIAC football championships by defeating undefeated teams from the valley or SCC, and that is something that an SCC team HAS NEVER done.

Are you sure about that, or are you just pulling it out of your ass like every other comment?

Yes wise ass, I am sure about that. I'm also sure that if someone wants to do the research on the FCIAC vs the SCC head to head in the CT state playoffs over the past 20 or 30 years, they will find that FCIAC teams won the majority of the time.
 
Gotta disagree with ya huskyrob1. I'd say in the last decade the SCC has most cetainly been the best conference in the state top to bottom, especially with Xavier's resurgence over the past 7 years.
 
Here's the breakdown for Class L and LL FINALS games from 2000-2010:

FCIAC Record: 5-9
vs. SCC 1-5
vs. SWC 1-2
vs. CCC 2-2
vs. ECC 1-0

SCC Record: 8-3
vs. FCIAC 5-1
vs. CCC 1-2
vs. SWC 1-0
vs. ECC 1-0

Not looking at Class M yet which would give more wins for the FCIAC (New Canaan) but would also give more to the SCC (Hand). Didn't bother to look at quarters or semi's but if you want to claim victory there, have at it. Class LL and L encompass tha majority of good teams from the FCIAC and SCC (Div 1) which is the base argument here (since the original claim was that Xavier couldn't be as successful in the FCIAC). In all fairness although the FCIAC had a worse record in my comparison it should be noted they had more teams reach the finals than the SCC (14 to 11).

I'm guessing if I look at the lower divisions there will also be wins for St. Joe's (FCIAC) but also Hillhouse (SCC) and Branford (SCC)

Actually you can tally them up right here if you click the link below, no guessing here Boots, but keep in mind this is only the finals, the FCIAC has hands down more wins over the years statewide, and head to head against the SCC it wins that number game as well but not by much I will say. Again, keep in mind that this is only the finals but if you include the early rounds I would guess the FCIAC wins that numbers game as well. Hey Kris how does your foot taste?:D

From 1976 to today.....FCIAC rules...... http://www.casciac.org/pdfs/champions_football.pdf

Bloomfield was so dominant in the late 90's though they did play some close games with Darien. I do have a question for anyone out there....when did Fairfield Prep and Shelton join the SCC?

Just click on the link I provided below. You can say all you want about how great you feel the SCC has been in CIAC post season play but the fact is from 1976 which is when the CIAC playoffs started until now the FCIAC has ruled the roost.

Notice how I said "last decade", not since 1976. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the state playoffs really only started in the 1980s, so going back that far really doesn't aid your argument.

Rob, i don't even have a horse in this race, nor do I really care what the best league in Connecticut High School Football is. However, I feel compelled!

According to the Connecticut Sports Writers 2011 Record Book (pg 54) the SCC has been to 70 State Finals and won 44 and FCIAC has been to 72 and won 42. Once again I am going to have to call a BS on your post, if anyone has "ruled the roost" it would slightly be the SCC.

With all due respect, you are mistaken, the state CIAC football playoffs began in 1976.

Well Nadav thanks for your input but don't believe everything you read. Yes it's true the FCIAC went to 72 state finals and won 42, I just counted them from the link below that I provided. Strange thing though I counted CIAC finals victories for SCC teams and only counted 38, I'll count them again but I think it's correct.

Counted it again and that's a lot of BS, the SCC doesn't have 44 victories. They have 38 or 39. Nadav, maybe you don't have a horse in this race but I do smell a lot of horse dung, but thanks for feeling "compelled" though. I think whoever counted for your "record book" counted championships by Fairfield Prep when they were good back in the 70's and 80's but long before they joined your invincible SCC. Now that they're in the SCC they suck.
 
Go Conard? Go CCC? What do I know, I played hockey.

Ok so Fairfield Prep doesn't count for the SCC? then St Joseph's doesn't count for FCIAC until 1995? I don't think you want to play that game. I get (now) that you are that guy who can't be wrong, even when you are blatantly wrong -- so I guess I will have to leave it at that.

FYI: It wasn't my "record book", it was the Connecticut Sports Writer's Alliance -- established in 1939. They have a bit more credibility than you.
