Right, you'll have Seaford giving off bonus points for beating ECHS twice.. 🤪

I reached out to the football committee chair for more clarification. I’ll post if I hear back

 

[Ikeyfbst2]

I do find that last spot for district 3 to be kind of interesting. Sussex tech was left for dead and with a win over milford could be that 4th seed.

My math (and everyone knows how bad it can be) see's the Milford-Tech game as a play-in game. I honestly believe a team with division wins can make it in as the 4 seed. I not only think it is possible, it may be likely, just looking at the schedules.

Wow. A team with division wins can make it in as the 4 seed? So any team can make it.

I think you left off a number somewhere in there.

I meant 2

 

[Woody_Wood]

I don't get why they gave that second game to Seaford, if anything they could have done 2 games between odessa and ECHS, with them being the two newest teams.

That would have been ideal. But there probably wasn't an available date for both teams to play.

Did Lake lose a key player or something? They started strong and had some hype behind them, beat Milford now they have lost to Tech, Red Lion and CA..

So yeah it is between Milf, Tech and RLCA for that last spot and true a 2 ID win team could take it. Especially if its MIlf because they would be 2-3 and have a higher ID win % than the 2-4's Delmar game cancellation could work out in Milfs favor for sure

Lake Forest wins their division.

@Notursmine had some inside information about Lake before the season. His prediction that Lake would win their division was wrong, but he might know what the story is.

 

[BackinBlack86]

at Lake would win their division was w

He also was the only one to pick Lake to beat Caravel in the pool this week and at 10 no less. Not sure he would be a good source here lmao

 

[Longagoplayer]

Teams that have played the following opponents are guaranteed at least one bonus point:

Dover
Woodbridge
DMA
Archemre
Caravel
Friends
St. Elizabeth’s
Laurel
St. Andrews

@Titanium Shadow St. Marks has 5 wins on the season already as well. Just noticed this morning.

Thanks @Longagoplayer, I didn't notice that.

 

[BackinBlack86]

It will be interesting to compare the point indexes with those that get in and those that don't. We are almost assuredly going to have teams on the outside looking in with much higher indexes than some that get in.

 

[Longagoplayer]

Outside of Division 3 I am going to bet that at least one D2 and one D1 playoff team will have a losing record, while there will be teams with at least a .500 record are out

 

[ReturnOfTheGate]

We've had a few 7-3/8-2 teams in the old format miss the playoffs so to see it possibly happen again means a refresh might be in order.

you won't see any 7-3 or 8-2 teams miss the playoffs..probably won't see any 6-4 teams miss either but it is possible

 

[Huskerman7]

Totally got you, want to make sure you keep the masses entertained lol.

just FYI, we are now planning to analyze the 2A race on this week’s podcast. Thanks for the suggestion Long!

 

[Longagoplayer]

Only possible 6-4 team missing would be mt. Pleasant or Tower Hill, and who knows what will happen with their head to head getting messed up.

Very cool, and you guys keep up the good work, it makes my Monday drive more tolerable lol

I ran some numbers today and you are absolutely right @Ikeyfbst2. Baring a big upset somewhere, the winner of the Milford/Lake game will be the 4th team from 2A District 3.

Milford is projected at 5-4 if they win.

Tech is projected at 6-4 if they win.

 

[Huskerman7]

Just looking at 1A, the 4th seed in each district will amost certainly have losing records. Ugh

 

[Huskerman7]

Poly-Odessa tonight also looking like a play-in game in 1A district 2. Winner in line for an epic Round 1 beatdown.

This is the crazy part because if Odessa beats Poly, Odessa will make the playoffs at 3-7, if the rest of their season plays out the way it should.

I think that will be pretty much the nature of 1A football.. Meaning there aren't 8 good teams in the classification so half the playoff teams will be pretty weak teams.

Maybe make them all play in their class so their records aren't abysmal.

 

[Longagoplayer]

I know some people talk about preserving rivalries but there are enough teams in each class that there is no need to play into other divisions, especially in D3 with 11 teams everyone can play every other D3 team.
