Projected Playoff Brackets (10/13)

[Alum-Ni]

This is my projection if the playoffs were to end today. They do not take into account how any future regular season games may go. This is just for fun and is just meant to be a snapshot of how the playoff race sits as of TODAY.

CLASS A
In Class A there are 28 teams, which are placed into four seven-team districts and everyone plays a 9-game regular season schedule. The top three teams in each district, based on win-loss record within the district, automatically qualify for the playoffs, that gives 12 automatic qualifiers. Of all the remaining teams, the four teams with the highest power point averages will receive wildcards and will complete the 16-team playoff bracket. The 16 teams will then be seeded into one bracket #1 thru #16 based on power points.

District 1
Millard North (7-0, 4-0), 44.0000
Papillion-LaVista South (6-1, 5-0), 40.7143
Lincoln North Star (3-4, 2-2), 37.7143
Lincoln Southwest (3-4, 2-3), 36.4286
Papillion-LaVista (2-5, 2-2), 36.1429
Omaha Northwest (1-6, 0-4), 32.8571

CLASS BIn Class B there are 32 teams, which are placed into eight four-team districts and everyone plays a 9-game regular season schedule. The eight district champions, based on district win-loss record, will automatically qualify for the playoffs. The next eight teams with the highest power point averages will receive wildcards to fill out the 16-team playoff bracket. The 16 teams will then be seeded into one bracket #1 thru #16 based on power points.

For this projection, since only one district game has been played for each team, the team within each district that is tied for first that has the highest overall opponent win percentage (or whatever NSAA rule is required) will be "projected" as the district champion and automatic playoff qualifier

GACC, Creighton and Heartland tiedfor #3 seed. GACC and Creighton have more wins over Division 1 opponents, and GACC has a better opponent win percentage

Lourdes, High Plains and Scribner tied for #10 seed. High Plains has a Division 2 win, so they get #10 seed. Other two teams are tied thru all tie-breakers, so a coin-flip gives #11 to Lourdes

Diller-Odell gets #7 seed over Hartington due to NSAA tie-breaker (win over Division 1 team)

CLASS D2
In Class D2 there are 54 teams, which are placed into ten districts and everyone plays a 8-game regular season schedule. The ten district champions, based on district win-loss record, will automatically qualify for the playoffs. The next 22 teams with the highest power point averages will receive wildcards to fill out the 32-team playoff bracket. The 32 teams will then be seeded into two brackets, a west bracket and an east bracket, seeded #1 thru #16 in each bracket based on power points.

Any ties for the district championship, if the teams have not played head-to-head, will be broken by NSAA tie-breaker rules, starting with overall opponents win percentage

6-MAN
I'm not sure if the Six Man Coaches Association has changed their playoff format this year or not. If not, the playoffs are as follows: the top eight teams based on power points make the playoffs. The eight teams are split into two four-team brackets based on geography, east and west. Each bracket is seeded #1 through #4 based on power points. After the first round of the playoffs, the remaining four teams are re-seeded into one bracket and re-seeded #1 through #4 based on the new power point totals.

I will base my projections off the previous format unless I find out it has changed.
