A lot of talk has been made of the strength of schedules, or lack of strength, some teams in the NVL have faced to date. Here are some numbers to consider. For each team I have listed their opponent record to date; record of remaining opponents; overall combined record of entire schedule; and opponents' records subtracting the record against the school in question:
School to-date; remaining; combined; net
Ansonia 10-15; 11-14; 21-29; 21-24;
Crosby 16-9; 9-16; 25-25; 21-24;
Derby 13-12; 13-12; 26-24; 23-22;
Holy Cross 13-12; 16-9; 29-21; 26-19;
Kennedy 14-11; 13-12; 27-23; 24-21;
Naugatuck 7-18; 16-9; 23-27; 23-22;
St. Paul 16-9; 15-10; 31-19; 27-18;
Sacred Heart 10-15; 14-11; 24-26; 23-22;
Seymour 20-5; 13-12; 33-17; 28-17;
Torrington 11-14; 11-14; 22-28; 21-24;
Watertown 8-17; 14-11; 22-28; 20-25;
Wilby 14-11; 13-12; 27-23; 22-23;
Wolcott 9-16; 9-16; 18-32; 17-28;
Woodland 16-9; 19-11; 35-20; 33-17;
By those numbers, the team with the easiest overall schedule this year would be Wolcott (17) with Watertown (20), Ansonia and Crosby (21)and Torrington (22)next. Have to see where those numbers are at year end.

What have we here?
As we venture into week four of the 2010 NVL season ya just have to ask.....what do we have in the league this year as far as very good teams, good teams, fair teams and the...oh by the way teams.
Has anyone established themselves as THE front runner? Well, clearly after Monday evening's showing by Ansonia, The Chargers made a statement. The Naugatuck faithful will certainly tell you the 'Hounds are the top team, Watertown needs our attention and Wolcott is right there and not going away.
As for Holy Cross. Well, time will tell. Was that an anomaly against Ansonia? Or was the 62 points against St.Paul? The others? Status Quo...although someone may emerge. I don't think Woodland is too far off.
Again, a reminder from an earlier post............let's see what scouting staff and coaching staff does the most effective job now. Who can make the adjustments....who WILL make those adjustments. What staff can keep the the season going in the right direction. You can talk all you want about talent, but talent is just one part of having a good team......talent needs to be developed & directed.
Is a meaningful Ansonia - Naugatuck game on Thanksgiving on tap? Could be, who knows? Lots of time and lots of minutes to play yet. Too much time, too many variables to say. I know a lot of people are planning Turkey morning at Jarvis...the tailgate menus sound pretty good from what I've heard. Just remember.........we're still 7 weeks away and the weather is just starting to change............
