Yeah I think that’s spelled out in 18 b (1) which is at the bottom of what Deana posted but is cut off.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).
The only question marks are Polk and Bessemer City. They each need one more win to lock in a champion seed.Ok so it's probably going be nine 1 seeds then.
