Here's my best guess. I picked who I thought would win. There were a ton of tiebreakers so I might have missed something, but I think this is fairly accurate if it all unfolds the way I have it.

I took a shot at this looking at how I projected this weeks games to go and the changing of wildcard points with teams gaining or dropping divisions as well as trying to look through the tie-breakers. Some very big games left this week to impact the final standings. The Elm Creek vs ALC and Neleigh-Oakdale vs Lutheran NE being the biggest bracket changers.

Falcon thats pretty much how I had it also, except I have Nebraska Christian at 307. Palmer winning moves them up to a 2, so a 33 pt loss instead of a 28. Not sure how that affects those bottom two seeds though

I looked at that one both ways, have no idea who would win but thought Palmer looked a little more dangerous.

Forgive me for being a novice to how the playoffs work nowadays but is the reason Ravenna and Wakefield aren’t able to make the playoffs due to them opting into 8 man. I haven’t paid much attention to high school football for a few years....
