2A Playoff Standings thru week 8

[ReitzFan]

Upperman will get in with a losing record at 4-6.

 

 

 

Not unless they finish 3rd or better in their region. A 4-6 record will not get you in as a wildcard

Think it will come down to strength of schedule...which is hard to figure how TSSAA will rate that

 

 

You think it would be based on the STENGTH OF SCHEDULE that is listed on CoachT ...

Something very odd about the SOS on CoachT ...... Why is Sweetwater not listed?

Tie breakers to determine wildcards are first overall record which looks to include several 5-5 teams, then they go to greatest number of wins over teams winning over 50% of their games, then the team whose opponents have greatest number of wins, then the team whose opponents have fewest number of losses then the team whose has the greatest number of wins within their own class then OT procedure to determine winner.

 

TSSAA says this is already all mapped out but I don't see how it could be until they know who is IN. Don't like the idea that the TSSAA knows who is in and placing them where they want them.

If you go to tssaa.org you can find the information for the tie breakers. Just click on 2007 football player information then scroll down and click on Division I class 2a playoff information. There's plenty of good information there.

It is this year for 2A. The other classes are set in stone. TSSAA has no say so in which teams plays who only which region seed 1 plays the other region seed 4, etc.

In 2A, there are no four seeds. Only 1s, 2s, 3s, and wildcards.

As I said, THE OTHER CLASSES. Wasn't talking 2A.

6 wins will get you in as a wild card. The way I see it is Rockwood is in, Adamsville has a one win Halls left to get to 6 and Richland Has the same situation with Loretto. So it would be safe to say that those are 3 of the 5 wildcard teams. The next 2 spot most likely will be filled with 5 win teams. Head of the list is Trenton who already has 5 wins and is first in the 3rd tiebreaker (greatest # of V's over teams with 50% winning %) with 3. The next 2 in line has to be Humbolt and Sweetwater. Both would have 5 victories, both would have 1 win over a team with 50%, in opponents victories HB would beat our SW 36 to 34 and secure the 5th wildcard playoff slot. All this is dependent on no MAJOR upsets, which could happen and no one could figure it out until after next Fridays games.

While I applaud attempts to help us understand what's happening in the world of sports, the Strength of Schedule does not shed much light. It seems to me that it rates all opponents equally, based on their win/loss record and their opponents win/loss record, not taking into account the win/loss vs teams from schools of different size. Thus you have teams that have played teams of greater size (eg. 2A vs 5A) treated the same as teams who have played schools of smaller size (eg. 2A vs 1A). So in this way a school that has really played a weaker schedule (because they played down and not up) can have a higher strength of schedule than a team that has taken on the largest size division. Makes no sense to me! There's no way playing a good or even average 5A team is equal to a good or average 1A or 2A team. If they were, then there would be no reason for our divisions 1A to 5A. So SOS needs to give greater weight to playing up when it does its figures. So if your team isn't on the list, don't worry, SOS doesn't amount to a hill of beans! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />
