Well, here it is. A game I was once anticipating for other reasons, I am now seeing is an absolute must win for Atlanta. If they do not win this, they are out of the playoffs. My, how this season has transpired from what it was thought to have been before week 1. I will add I information on this game tomorrow. The most important part though is - Atlanta has to win. Atlanta hasn't beat Gilmer in 13 years. Gilmer Buckeyes(7-1) vs Atlanta Rabbits(5-3) Gilmer's opponents combined records - (30-32) .484 Atlanta's opponents combined records - (34-27) .557 Atlanta leads the series is tied at (26-24), dating all the way back to 1925. Gilmer averages 49.1 PPG, while allowing just 30.9 PPG. Atlanta averages 28.9 PPG, while allowing 24.5 PPG. Last 5 meetings: 2015 - Gilmer - 24 | Atlanta - 15 - Qtr Finals 2014 - Gilmer - 64 | Atlanta - 25 - Qtr Finals 2013 - Gilmer - 57 | Atlanta - 7 2012 - Gilmer - 57 | Atlanta - 13 - Regional Playoffs 2012 - Gilmer - 31 | Atlanta - 17 Atlanta is coming off a disappointing loss to Gladewater (7-22). Gilmer is coming in after a 2nd half rally to beat Spring Hill (42-7).

The Buckeyes (.722) and Sooners (.720) rank third and fourth in all-time winning percentage, and have combined for 1,736 victories and 12 national titles. Since 2000, OU and Ohio State are tied for the lead in wins among Power Five conference teams with 170 each. OU will play at Ohio State in 2017. This year's meeting will be just the third all-time. Oklahoma fell 24-14 to the Buckeyes in Norman in 1983, but in 1977 third-ranked OU traveled to fourth-ranked OSU and delivered one of the most iconic wins in school history. In a game remembered by its penultimate play, Ray Finkle directed the Ohio State faithful in a chant of "Block that kick!" before nailing a 41-yard field goal to give Barry Switzer's Sooners a 29-28 win over Woody Hayes' Buckeyes.
