Notes: Final two weeks of the season. If you are not in the Top 26 at this point there is a very low chance of making the playoffs without the league title. If you are still in the Top 26 but outside the Top 20 you will need a ton of help to get into the playoffs but luckily there are two games left and winning out could be the help you need. 13-19 are all pretty close and the race for the final few spots will be a fun race to watch.

Notes: Like 2A if you are outside the Top 25 in the RPI this week things do not look good for you to make the playoffs. 13 thru 20 are all close in 1A and the race to the end will be a good one. A few teams that have a very interesting RPI is Platte Canyon with a .342 OWP, Colorado Springs Christian .329 OWP and Peyton with a .262 OWP if either lose things will be interesting for them.

Notes: 14-18 has a huge bottleneck in the standings with most of the teams being 4-3 or 3-4. The Drop off from 18 to 19 is quite big going for .514 to .499 so teams outside the Top 19 will need to make up some ground. Big week for some teams still trying to make a push.

Notes: The Final Week of the season and 24 teams still have some sort of chance at the playoffs. 1 thru 14 seem to be solid. Eads who is at 14 has a .517 and Arickaree/Woodlin at 15 has a .488 which is a difference of .029. I can comfortable say if you are in the Top 12 baring a huge upset you will probably make the playoffs. The RPI difference between is big enough. You can nearly lock in 13 and 14 due to the difference in RPI numbers but with Fleming and Eads playing tough opponents in the final games I cannot lock them in. Just a quick example if you only change the WP of Eads to .500 which means they lose their last game their RPI number drops to .490 which puts them square on the bubble of course their OWP and OOWP will change because they are playing Cheyenne Wells but that just shows you how 1 lose can change everything. The best thing is win your final game and put destiny in your own hands.
