Here is my best guess at classifications for the upcoming scheduling cycle. I based this off of the declarations listed on the NSAA football site (11-8-6 and coops) and the new enrollment numbers released today. I am not very good at following the 2 year waiver period and mid cycle numbers for eligibilty in 8 man. Help me out if I have something wrong there. I have 8 man at 109 teams, which means an uneven split 55-54. Not sure whether they will put more in D1 or D2.
Class A- 31 Teams, all eligible
Class B- 25 Teams, 1 ineligible
Class C1- 43 Teams, 2 ineligible
Class C2- 32 Teams, 3 ineligible
Class D1- 55 Teams, 5 ineligible
Class D2- 54 Teams, all eligible
Class D6- 35 Teams, 5 ineligible
