I will take a try at it
D-1

Sandy Creek (-46) Sandhills Valley

Shelby-Rising City (-18) Arapahoe

Dundy County Stratton Lourdes Central Catholic (-2.5)

Guardian Angels Central Catholic (-1.5) Plainview

Crofton (-18) Thayer Central

Summerland (-40) South Loup

North Platte St. Pats (-20) Bridgeport

Stanton (-24 EMF

No way Stanton beats EMF by 40. EMF will keep it close through 3 quarters .

I agree with you here, and your example is not uncommon. If I remember correctly, #1 Seed Cross County dropped a first round game to Weeping Water?? Weeping water played a tough schedule and one of their best players was injured for nearly half of the season. I think it is reasonable to give Weeping Water a home game or 2 through that playoff.

I believe that was a second round game.

I love it.

Seedings are good, but not perfect. Some teams play a harder schedule in the regular season and get losses.

Those same teams get to the post season and don't deserve a home game if they upset a team or two?

That's not fair to those teams that played a tougher schedule to never reward them for any upsets in the playoffs and making them have to travel 4+ hours week after week if they keep winning.

Just because a team had an easy regular season schedule doesn't mean they earned a home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Reward the upsets.

Having to play away game after away game after away game is dumb. 🤷🏾

Sandhills over Axtell 58-20

Archangels wins 46 to 6 over Twin Loup
Howells Dodge over BR 60 to 12
Central Valley over St. Mary's 56 to 6
Wynot Over Hitchcock 34 to 30 close game
Sandhills over Axtell 48 to 12
Riverside over Creighton 48 to 6
Overton over High Plains 42 to 20
BDS over Kenesaw 40 to 6
Not many close games in 2nd rnd besides Wynot Hitchcock and Overton High Plains Game.
We will see if there is a big difference between the top tier and the 2nd tier teams

CLASS B

#1 Bennington (8-1)
#16 Grand Island Northwest (4-5). Bennington wins Big

#8 Hastings (6-3)
#9 McCook (6-3). Maybe a good game

#4 Scottsbluff (8-1) Might be a seed upset but either way the score will be way closer than records indicate
#13 Gretna (5-4)

#5 Elkhorn North (7-2). EN wins
#12 Elkhorn (4-5)

#3 Omaha Skutt (8-1). Skutt by a lot
#14 York (5-4)

#6 Waverly (7-2). another good game
#11 Norris (6-3)

#7 Gering (6-3)
#10 Gretna East (5-4). Gretna East by 3 scores or more

#2 Seward (9-0)
#15 Lincoln Pius X (4-5). Seward wins

I just can't believe 8 man coaches and AD's still vote to not have the high seed host throughout the playoffs. Will never get the logic behind that.

Yes, I agree. However like we have this stipulation in volleyball if it's more than 200 miles for a district final we need to find a central host. Even though we have a sub in C2 where 3 teams are driving 200 miles or so FOR A SUB.

Click to expand...

yeah I dont think volleyball schools thought someone would do that to other teams but appears they will need a rule for subs due to a bad apple

Stu Pospisil was on radio the other day and said there seems to be movement towards that happening.

Twin loop would win the first round game if we used your system

Who knows! Just don't love the idea of the re-seed that's all. I'm sure every one of those kids is just excited as heck to get to ball another week.

C8manfball said:

Yes, I understand this. I just do not like it. We already have teams traveling on the western side 4 hours plus first round. Would it add travel yes, a ton? Eh I mean maybe? There is no perfect situation. Nebraska geographically and demographically is so unique it just adds all those difficulties.

If you seed 1 to 32 the same thing will happen if a low seed upsets a team, They will still have to play a top team, and to get to the championship they will still have to beat a top 1 or 2 seeded team and you have just added a ton more travel for the same result

For example twin loop would have player BDS at BDS in the first round probably

C8manfball said:

Yes, I agree. I’m also not a fan of re-seeding in these situations. If a team pulls off an upset against a #1 seed in the first round, they shouldn’t immediately have to face the top-ranked team again as a “reward.” Just my opinion—I know some will say, “Win more games in the regular season.” I get that, but why not just seed it 1-32 and let things play out? Upsets are part of the game, so let them happen naturally.

Since they have moved to this format, yes I believe so.

I wish the NSAA could update their playoff brackets online to show the seeds from previous years. I think that helps with historical data keeping.

Someone told me in 2017 Giltner was a 16 and beat #1 Arapahoe. Maybe someone can find seedings to see if this is true.

Click to expand...

I'm pretty sure this was the 8/9 seed matchup. Arapahoe was 7-1 in the regular season that year. If I remember correctly, there was a major botched call in that Giltner game?
