1A Playoff Quads- 10/14

[CoffeeBreak]

Looks like most things are settled in terms of auto-qualifiers but there are a few important games left to be played.

 

In District 4: Sunbright is 2-2 with Oneida and Wartburg left to play; Coalfied is 2-3 with Oakdale left to play. Coalfied defeated Sunbright earlier in the year.

 

In District 7/8: Gordonsville is 3-3 with games vs. Clay County and Pickett County; Monterey is 3-4 with a game left with FC; Clay County is 3-4 with a game left vs. Gordonsville. Top two teams get automatic bids.

 

In District 9: MTC is 3-2; Huntland and Eagleville are 2-2 and play each other Friday night. Playoff bid is on the line. If Eagleville wins it sets up a big game for Week 10.

 

In District 10: McEwen is 202 with 2 games remaining; Clarksville Academy is 2-3 with Jo Byrns remaining. McEwen needs to beat Nashville Christian to qualify.

 

In District 11/12: Wayne County and Perry County have showdown for the top spot. Collinwood is close behind with games versus Cornersville and Wayne County. Should be an interesting finish. Top two teams get in but my guess is that the third wheel has a great shot at a wildcard.

 

In District 13: West Carrol and Gleason are tied at 1-3. Gleason has a game vs. Dresden remaining and West Carroll has a game vs Hollow Rock remaining. West Carroll owns the head-to-head tie breaker.

 

In District 14: Lake County has to beat Union City to make this race dicey.

 

Who are your picks in these games?

bandit1234... That sounds good to me. Really I don't think anybody should get too excited. We'll have to play each other before the end is in sight. I look for the Mustangs to have to play Union City again and that winner will face either Jo Byrns or Wayne County but I too could be wrong.

I wish someone with some knowledge of how this new playoff format works would take some time after tonight and workout a mock 1st & 2nd round schedule. Which Quads will play and which teams would matchup. I have somewhat of an Idea about some of it but I would like to see more.

[CoffeeBreak]

 

Now therein lies the problem. Find me someone with more than a modicum of knowledge of how this new playoff format works and I'll show you the proverbial pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

nobody knows anything until the tssaa lets everyone know on the morning of the 31st. if you guessed the quads correctly then you would be a ringer to pick all the powerball numbers. in other words the tssaa seems to be very mysterious on this matter. up until last year there was no doubt about where you was going round one. i will be up early on that morning, thats for sure. it will all unfold in about a week.

Thanks for an answer (kind of). I was just wondering if everyone would basically be playing the same teams that they usually play for the playoffs or would there be somewhat of a change?

Here's a look at how the bracket should look. A few things to remember:

 

* In the first round, two teams from the same district can not play one another. What this means is that a 3 seed may have to play the 4 or 5 seed rather than the 6 seed in round 1.

 

* In round 2, the #1 seed will play the lowest remaining seed. If you look at the bracket below, you'll see that it's drawn to look as if the #1 seed plays the winner of the 4/5 match up. The reason is because I'm assuming the 3 seed will beat the 6 and the 4 will beat the 5. In this case, the lowest remaining seed would be a 4 seed. If the 6 seed were to beat the 3 seed in round 1 then the #1 seed would play the 6 seed in round 2.

 

* The higher seed is ALWAYS the home team. In the semifinals, there's a possibility that two teams with the same seed (i.e. two #1 seeds) could play one another. In this case, the "Top" team would be the home team in odd numbered years (this year) and the "Bottom team would be the home team in even numbered years (next year). So if you look at the bracket below...if you're a #1 seed in quadrant 1 & 3 ("Top" teams) this year then you have home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

 

Any questions?

What's going on 3? Yeah as far as the 1 & 2 seeds, best I can tell is that they'll use the tiebreaker scenarios. Take a look at the TSSAA wildcard rankings to see how the teams would rank (be seeded).
