Playoff Projections
- Thread starter EWCards
- Start date
There are 9 conferences in West, so if Robbinsville wins SMC, then Murphy, Swain, and Starmount would most likely be 10, 11, and 12 by the current RPIs.
Those 3 schools would be tougher matchups than 6 thru 9 in my opinion.

Go back to them going in a room and doing it or let let final rankings count a percentage. Stop making your opponent record count as much bc you cant help how bad other teams are. You have to play your conf teams and as far as non conf doesn't always work out to schedule better competition.
Buzz I understand you are talking about the conference you are in but if you do that you’re opening up people scheduling historically bad teams non conference just to get wins…again. Also whose rankings would you use? There are several different talked about on this forum each with their own formulas. Not trying to pick a fight just don’t know how it could be made to work.
Go back to letting conf. champs and second place teams in. Terrible letting teams with 1 or 0 wins in playoffs. But everyone gets a trophy right?
Rankings should never be used as no one sees all the teams. It becomes a system based on scores(encouraging people to run it up) or past tradition. Not a reliable system. As for going in a room, who do you put in that room? How is that group comprised and selected?
Well, he is the Bullgod after all. He's gonna get you. He sees through you.
Saw a projection today that has ER and Tville meeting in the 2nd round.
That would be a good second round matchup I think.
Winner would see the Mt Heritage/Draughn winner in the 3rd. Ofcourse, things may shake out to be different with some bit SMC and WHC games coming up.
Depending on which Thomasville team shows up.
And ER has orange/blue game plus PG game between now and then, Shouldn't have an effect on them being considered 1A champ from PAC7. Guess more would depend on how Tville fares with RPI if they don't win conference?
The only thing that sucks about this year's playoffs is not being able to see all of the great matchups live. So many good teams and potentially great matchups. I hope we will be able to see the games online or watch them on a Saturday.
Bulldogs lost to N Rowan so they are a wildcard. NR will lose to Salisbury but it won't change the 1A side.
That'd be cool. Rematch of '83 state championship.
You just had to go there, didn’t you Chute?
Playoff projections are meaningless until you get to the last week or two of the season. Any upset can change the RPI a lot, so it's kind of pointless to project this far out.
And yet Joe Lunardi has created a career by doing so...
There are only 3 weeks left including this week. Seems about that time.
So will we have 9 conference champs?
I know a couple conferences only have one 1a team. Will those for sure be champs.

Way I understand it, if they finish in top 3 of conference and have over .500 record then they would be conference champions.
I think there will be 9, looks like Polk will meet that criteria at the moment. So as Deanna said in one thread, looks like you may have Swain, Murphy, Starmount, Mountain Heritage, Mitchell filling in the 10-14 spots(assuming a Robbinsville and Draughn conference champ). There will be some good round 2 matches this year.
Exactly. Only reason i even mentioned it. I seen on here years past where people was doing their predictions 3 and 4 weeks out. I know alot can change but thats why its simply called a "projection".
The only conference that would be in question would be SPC. It looks like 2A teams Shelby, Burns, and East Gaston will be the top 3 with Bessemer City sitting in 4th. If they don’t finish .500 that conference will not get a No. 1 seed.
Assuming the conference 1's are Robbinsville, MA, ER, N Rowan, Draughn, S Stanly, MIC, Bessemer City and Polk. Based on current RPI and remaining games Mitchell, Murphy, Thomasville, Starmount and MH could all swap places depending on who wins in the WHC games and barring no upsets for the others. Tville and SM win out they will be neck in neck for one of the 11-12 spots. MH has to win out to be higher than any of the above listed. I may be wrong and it is fun to talk about "possibilities" even though there are three weeks to go.
I give up. I will wait til brackets are out
If the team finishes in the top 3 of the overall conference or has at least a 5-5 record, they get seeded as conference champ. If the top 1a team in a split conference doesn’t meet those two criteria, they still get an automatic playoff berth, but are not seeded as a champion (just seeded by their RPI).
That's what you got from Deanna post?
I'll take ur word for it.
