Class 1A Football Playoff Team Predictions & Projections Week 10

Class 1A Football Playoff Team Predictions & Projections Week 10

This year to reach the playoffs is simple either win your league title (or finish second in the Western Slope) or be inside the top 16 of the RPI. After they select the 16 teams that make the playoffs, they use the CHSAA Seeding Index to seed the playoffs. This week I will be giving my predictions on who makes the playoffs. I will also look at if the season ended today who would make the playoffs.

The article above is the 16 teams I pick to make the playoffs. In Class 1A league champions are guaranteed a berth plus the 2^nd Place team in the Western Slope. The rest will be selected by RPI, which is 8 At-Large berths. Seeding is determined by CHSAA Seeding Index

Predicted Playoff Bracket (Using Playoff Team I picked)

Class 1A Playoff Projections (If the Season Ended Today)

This is if the season ended today 10/29/2021. Using the RPI I will come up with the Playoff field. League Champions are still selected with my League Prediction Article. In the Class 1A league champions are guaranteed a berth (Plus 2^nd in the Western Slope). The rest will be selected by RPI. I will seed the bracket with my take at the CHSAA Seeding Index. This is nothing official and just my take at the index.

League Champions: ()=RPI, If Bold means League Title Locked up, (NOT IN ORDER)

#1 Foothills: Platte Canyon (23)

#2 North Central: Limon (3)

#3 Northern: Strasburg (8)

#4 Santa Fe: Peyton (17)

#5 Southern Peaks: Centauri (1)

#6 Tri-Peaks: Buena Vista (2)

#7 Western Slope: Meeker (6)

#8 Western Slope #2: North Fork (10)

8 At-Large berths will be given out and are selected via RPI. Seeding is determined by CHSAA Seeding Index. The Current RPI is what I used to select the 8 at-large berths.
