Projected Playoff Pairings

[steviking1414]

Assumptions on Tuesday's games:
St. E's beats McKean
Penn beats Milford
NCS beats Friends

#9 Woodbridge (14-6) vs. #24 Tatnall (9-11) - Winner gets #8 Delmarva (18-2)
#16 St. E's (14-6) vs. #17 Hodgson (13-7) - Winner gets #1 Sanford (17-3)
#12 Smyrna (15-5) vs. #21 Sussex Tech (12-8) - Winner gets #5 Appo (16-4)
#13 Caravel (15-5) vs. #20 St. Andrew's (14-6) - Winner gets #4 Dover (18-2)
#11 Delcastle (14-6) vs. #22 Lake Forest (11-9) - Winner gets #6 Sallies (12-8)
#14 CR (13-7) vs. #19 Newark Charter (13-7) - Winner gets #3 Penn (17-3)
#10 Middletown (13-7) vs. #23 Dickinson (15-5) - Winner gets #7 Mount (16-4)
#15 Tower Hill (14-6) vs. #18 Seaford (15-5) - Winner gets #2 Laurel (18-2)

The game that will truly impact seedings is NCS vs. Friends. If Friends wins, #19-24 looks like this:
#19 St. Andrew's
#20 Sussex Tech
#21 Lake Forest
#22 NCS
#23 Dickinson
#24 Friends

Tatnall will certainly be hoping for a Friends L tonight.

I’m a little confused...you have Friends getting the #24 seed with a win over Newark Charter tonight, but I don’t see Newark Charter listed in your bracket up top if they beat Friends.

Looks like you have St. Andrew’s listed twice in the #20 seed so I’m assuming one of those would be Newark Charter as the #19 or #20.

@J12, I see what your saying but I believe there 2 different scenarios steviking1414 was pointing out.

@steviking1414, thanks for your diligent work, ever year for the past couple of years you post these match ups and are usually spot on.

Nice work, but some of your points are off a little..

Delcastle only played 19 games, they will end up with a first round bye. Because of only playing 19 games they are going to give their opponents an additional bonus point. Teams like Hodgson and Middletown will move up some with additional bonus point.

Smyrna, CR, Caravel, and Hodgson will all end up tied in points.

St E could end up tied with tied with St Andrews and Seaford in points assuming they win tonight

Yes, good catch, that's a typo. I have NCS as #19 and St. Andrew's as #20. They had the same index, but edge goes to NCS since they beat St. Andrew's earlier in the year.

@84rider, Yeah I know but the original post had #20 St. Andrew’s listed twice playing #13 Caravel & #14 CR so I was wondering which one should have been Newark Charter. Looks like it’s updated now & I see he has Newark Charter at #19 playing CR if Newark Charter wins tonight. Very nice work @steviking1414. Even if off a little bit it gives us an idea of what is to come.

Delcastle- 2.1 pt index....28pts+16bonus= 40pts/ 19= 2.10

 

[EducatedEye]

Original post has them at 14-6, so things will change all through out

I have Delmarva with +12 bonus (Laurel 2, Penn 2, Delmar 1, Worcester Prep 1x2, Salisbury School 2x2, Lake Forest 1)

You may be correct. Looks like a game was played between Delcastle and Olympus Prep (NJ) at a showcase in January. Maxpreps has this as a L for Delcastle, but the websites4sports has no contest. Likely due to Olympus not being a part of the NJ high school governing body? This just goes to show how ridiculous the Delaware index system is.

I missed the Salisbury school
