Playoffs. Thank goodness.

Don’t get me wrong, I love regular-season football, even the bad games. But I really love playoffs.

Well, until it comes to predictions. That famous 79 percent usually takes a beating in the post-season. I swear my Lab pups could do better sometimes.

But these are for amusement, right? Right?

Last week: 104-26 (80.0%)
Season: 843-222 (79.2%)

RODFRISCO.COM TOP TEN
CLASS AAAA
No. 1 La Salle College 38, Roman Catholic 7 (Solid Roman team put up 17 reg-season, not this time)
No. 2 Pittsburgh Central Catholic 24, Gateway 14 (Gateway has buffed up as season has progressed, but PCC still wins)
No. 3 Lansdale North Penn 34, Penn Wood 7 (Yeah, Penn Wood is 9-1, but it takes more than record to knock off NP)
No. 4 Ridley 28, Henderson 7 (Could be a ticklish spot – well, not literally – for unbeaten Green Raiders)
No. 5 Mount Lebanon 20, Woodland Hills 16 (Wouldn’t be surprised if rolling Woody High picks off Lebo, though)
No. 6 North Hills 21, Upper St. Clair 14 (Both teams are grinders; expect a real battle)
No. 7 North Allegheny 34, Bethel Park 7 (BP pulled off first round shocker, but can’t see two in a row)
No. 8 Easton 38, Delaware Valley 6 (DV coming off a terrible loss to Wallenpaupack)
No. 9 Wilson 35, Manheim Twp. 7 (Township put up a big fight in league game, but Wilson dominates Friday)
No. 10 Neshaminy 31, Upper Dublin 6 (UD is a nice team, but won’t keep up with the ‘Skins)

CLASS AAA
No. 1 Allentown Central Catholic 41, Blue Mountain 14 (BM has had a little trouble holding back quality offenses)
No. 2 Archbishop Wood 33, No. 5 Cardinal O’Hara 27 (Simply put, the No. 1 game in the state this weekend)
No. 3 Abington Heights 28, North Pocono 17 (No easy touch for Heights in playoff opener)
No. 4 Montour 40, Indiana 13 (Indiana played two winning teams, lost badly to both)
No. 6 Thomas Jefferson 35, Hopewell 27 (Intriguing. Very intriguing)
No. 7 Grove City, idle (Hey, one I won’t miss!)
No. 8 Bishop McDevitt 42, Kennard-Dale 9 (McDevitt seems to be back into the flow)
No. 9 Greencastle-Antrim 35, Hamburg 14 (G-A’s had an unpleasant playoff history. This makes it feel a little better)
West Scranton 28, No. 10 Dallas 21 (Why do I pick against my own top ten teams? Because I can)

CLASS AA
No. 1 West Catholic 48, Delaware Valley Charter 12 (New No. 1 has no trouble in 12-AA opener)
No. 2 Lancaster Catholic 48, Schuylkill Valley 6 (LC has been tested in recent weeks. Passed ‘em all, but tested just the same)
No. 3 Aliquippa 22, Beaver Area 14 (OT the last time and could end up in extra time again)
No. 4 North Schuylkill 27, Pen Argyl 24 (Maybe the No. 2 game in the state this weekend)
No. 5 South Fayette 28, Freeport 13 (Lions very aware this is where they checked out in ’09)
No. 6 Northern Lehigh 33, Jim Thorpe 19 (Thorpe a nice team, but Bulldogs win these kinds of games)
No. 7 Forest Hills 34, Central Cambria 20 (Rangers rattled last week by AAA tough guy Johnstown, but strike back)
No. 8 Lewisburg 23, Bloomsburg 20 (Terrific way to start the D-4 playoffs)
No. 9 Littlestown 41, Bermudian Springs 19 (Bolts get out to early lead, unlike reg-season win)
No. 10 Danville 43, Wyalusing 14 (Ironmen have been dominant, continue the trend)

CLASS A
No. 1 Clairton 37, Bishop Canevin 6 (Canevin pretty good outfit, but good enough to take out the Bears?)
No. 2 Rochester 36, Beth-Center 12 (Rams keep marching toward showdown with Clairton)
No. 3 Mercyhurst Prep 44, Mercer 15 (Look for Lakers to blast against team that knocked it out of ’09 playoffs)
No. 4 Southern Columbia 52, Canton 6 (Will be quite surprised if Canton gives the Tigers a run)
No. 5 Taylor Riverside 34, Northwest Area 8 (Northwest faced a tough sked this year. It ends pretty tough)
No. 6 Farrell 52, Union City 6 (Farrell seems to be a bit angry lately …)
No. 7 Sharpsville 35, Cambridge Springs 0 (Expect the Blue Devils to be, um, sharp)
No. 8 Bellwood-Antis 15, Bishop McCort 14 (Superior schedule gives McCort a real shot at the presumed uppie)
Monessen 28, No. 9 Springdale 20 (Solid first round playoff wins tilts this game toward the ‘Hounds)
No. 10 Line Mountain 27, Muncy 14 (Muncy pretty good for 6-4 squad, but Eagles get the drop on Muncy at home)
