Games not counted by the OHSAA (against Canadian opponents, club teams, etc.) are ignored for these records. In cases where a game was later forfeited (e.g. for an ineligible player), the on-field outcome is still used here. Games against non-OHSAA opponents have no "official" pick, so they will not show up in the favorite or underdog categories.
