Question, why is Mitchell projected as your WHC champion? If Mitchell isn't the conference champion where would they be seed wise, #12?

updated: you are right...I was wrong. for some reason on this week's edit I had Draughn marked as a 2A school when I went through conference standings but still had them making it as a WC? ...don't know how I did that.

I've been thinking after after all games are played that Thomasville may pass CTK as #4 but looking at this doesn't look like there's much difference between being #4 or #5.
I originally thought if Startmount doesn't beat East Wilkes that they and Mitchell would probably switch places but looking at what their owp probably be in the end doesn't look like Mitchell can catch up and will probably stay at #12. While if Startmount beats East Wilkes will pass them up with one less win but a higher owp and with in striking distance of Robinnsville but though will have a higher owp their oowp will probably keep them from passing them.

Starmount beating EW will not be considered an upset. Matter of fact i expect it....If EW doesn't match Starmount's physicality and intensity, which will be very tough.
Yeah I used upset because of overall record and ranking but just looking at their schedules probably shouldn't have used that word Startmount played two undefeated teams that would have beaten EW as well which is why they have a higher owp. I'll edit that.

The difference in 4 and 5 is the difference in a third round home game. Of course, that’s assuming that the higher seeds continue to win, which we all know isn’t likely.
It’s my opinion that home games are important, especially as the travel becomes more distant.

True. As far as distance only about an hour between CTK and Thomasville if they get that far but of course you do want to play home.

For sure. The trip to the far western part of the state is more critical.
Everyone east of Asheville usually wants to avoid having to drive to a SMC school lol.
On this current possible bracket some of longest possible journeys I see would be in the second round if East Wilkes went to Murphy 4 hrs 8 min and in a possible 3rd round Robinnsville going to Eastern Randolph 4 hrs 40 min.
In the first round Bishop McGuinness to Murphy 4 hrs 26 min if a 1 or 2 win team wants to bother and South Davidson to Hayesville 4 hrs 28 min.

Someone better at math than me can probably figure it out but is there any chance North Moore could jump Tarboro in the RPI if they both win out?

Looking at their current RPI I don't see how with Tarboro having just one game left and Riverside & NM with two I don't see them even jumping Riverside ether.
NM problem is their owp is 0.39583 and looking at their and their pass opponents remaining games I doubt it will get above at best 0.3999 or very low .04000 depending on how they round it up and how some conference games go. While NM opw is 0.51563 and Tarboro's 0.56746 plus their oowp is lower and probably won't catch up with NM and definitely not with Tarboro's.
