C2 Playoff Projection

[hailvictors2]

Just a shot in the dark, so please don't take offense to anything. I went with the better record from here on out unless it was an obvious mismatch (so this will obviously be wrong because there will be multiple upsets along the way in the final 3 weeks).

1- Battle Creek (8-1, 46.111)
16- NP St Pats (6-3, 40)

9- LHNE (6-3, 41.666)
8- Oakland-Craig (8-1, 42.7778)

5- Hershey (8-1, 43.4444)
12- St Paul (6-3, 41)

4- Valentine (8-1, 44.5555)
13- Lincoln Lutheran (7-2, 40.7777)


3- Hartington CC (9-0, 44.6666)
14- Yutan (6-3, 40.6666)

11- Doniphan-Trumbull (7-2, 41.2222)
6- Wilber-Clatonia (9-0, 43.3333)

7- Central City (7-2, 42.8889)
10- Sutton (6-3, 41.3333)

15- Cross County (6-3, 40.3333)
2- Centennial (9-0, 45.3333)

First teams out:
Freeman (6-3, 39.8888)
Crofton (5-4, 39.7777)
Hastings St Cecila (5-4, 39.4444)
Centura (6-3, 39.3333)
Stanton (5-4, 39.1111)

A couple games that will have a massive impact on the bracket in week 7:
Battle Creek @ LHNE
Central City @ Sutton
Centura @ St Paul (Essentially a play-in game)
Hartington CC @ Crofton
St Pat's @ Hershey
Ponca @ Stanton
Wisner-Pilger @ BRLD (If Wisner wins they move up a level, which helps Crofton, Stanton, Hartington CC, and Oakland-Craig)

Games with significant impact in week 8:
BRLD @ Bergan (neither team will get in, but winner will be level 2 team and loser level 3 which will change power points for Battle Creek, Oakland Craig, Hartington CC)
Crofton @ Battle Creek
Cross County @ Centennial
Wisner-Pilger @ Logan View (If Logan View wins they move up, which helps Central City, Yutan, Stanton, and Oakland Craig)
Stanton @ Hartington CC
LHNE @ Ponca

Games with significant impact in week 9:
Battle Creek @ Stanton
Centennial @ Sutton
Central City @ St Paul
Crofton @ LHNE
Elmwood-Murdock @ Brownell Talbot (Neither team is getting in, but if OBT wins they move up a level, which boosts Yutan and Lincoln Lutheran)
Fillmore Central @ Arcadia-Loup City (Neither team gets in, but if ALC wins it moves them up a level which helps St Pats, Valentine, Cross County, St Paul, Centura, and Central City)
St Cecilia @ Gibbon (Neither team gets in, but winner moves up a level. St Cecilia helps Freeman, Wilber, Sutton, Central City, Doniphan. Gibbon helps Hershey, St Pats, St Paul, Doniphan)
Ponca @ Hartington CC
Lincoln Lutheran @ Yutan

By chance are you going to do C1? Good work on C2. Fun to speculate.

 

[Big Red Thoughts]

Looks like you are giving the edge to Lutheran High over Crofton the last week of the season? I wonder what chance Stanton would have if they finish 6-3 and can beat Ponca this week and HCC or Battle Creek the last two. They have had some tough luck last two weeks with not being able to close out LHNE and having every opportunity to beat Crofton last week.

 

[hailvictors2]

I wasn't planning on doing a C-1 bracket. If I can get free tomorrow or the next day I might try.

Big Red Thoughts, you are correct. I picked LHNE over Crofton. That C2-4 District is a meat grinder. Picking those games is really tough. If Stanton were to beat Ponca and then upset HCC or Battle Creek it would put them at 40.6666. That would get them in to my above bracket as a 15 or 14 seed.

 

[Big Red Thoughts]

Looking forward to two games in C2 this week, Cross County vs. Centennial and Stanton vs. Hartington CC. Cross County seems to be improving every week and Stanton could basically earn a playoff spot with a win. The games in C2 -4 are like playoff games every week, Stanton and Ponca was a thriller (Stanton seems to like to play close games and they got one this week), Crofton and HCC was great game this week. BC put it together against LHNE. If you look deeper into this you can see that Lincoln Lutheran will be a district champ and have stepped up once and got beat by LHNE 34-0, Lincoln Lutheran would not win a game in C2-4, Yutan is best team in that district, but they have actually played quality opponents and have 3 losses. You could also put any team from C2-4 in District 1 for WC and they would win the district. I would have liked to see how WC would do in C2-4, those physical games week in and week out would be fun to watch, C2 -5 is also tough at the top, with central city playing well and cross county very physical, sounds like sutton has some injuries to overcome.

Central City is C2-6 and a very good team. Sutton is hurting and very young but, might get a key player back for Centennial. Take the best player off of any C2 team and see what happens.

my fault meant to say Centennial, cross county and sutton are solid at top of c2-5 and central city really coming on strong in c2-6, should be fun final 2 weeks of regular season!

It's high school football every week is fun!

How is Lincoln Lutheran going to be a district champ if they aren't better than Yutan? They haven't even played yet. If Yutan wins they will be district champs assuming they win out.

 

[hailvictors2]

Yutan will be district champions in that district, but Lincoln Lutheran will get in if they are 7-2 based on the power points I have projected. Props to Lincoln Lutheran because they have struggled for such a long time, but I don't think their 7-2 would be very impressive.... There are a few 2-7 teams that would be 7-2 with their schedule in my opinion.

Lincoln Lutheran will be a playoff team, not district champ since they will lose to Yutan, my bad, it looks like they will have a better seed than Yutan if things dont get too crazy.
