Here is exactly how I get that they are more tested. Fairview has played 2 teams in 3a and 1 team in 1a. Raceland has played 3 teams in 4a and 1 in 3a. They are playing over their head more. During this run the did have 1 really good game that they lost late by 1 point. That builds character and will strengthen them more than you know. During this run Fairview has averaged scores of 41-28 per game. That means they are giving up 4 touchdowns per game on defense. Raceland has averaged scores of 44-18. That means they are giving up 3 scores or less. Then you add in the fact that they have played a common opponent. Fairview outscored that opponent by 21. Raceland outscored that same opponent by 26. Before you start to say anything about an 0-2 or 3a or 0-4 4a, keep this in mind. An 0-4 4a team playing their schedule would most likely be as good or better than a 1-3 1a team. That is not always the case but in most instances it is. Not to mention the Rams have played one extra game, so yes they have been more tested.
