Playoff Projections & Predictions

6-Man Playoff Predictions (Who I think make the playoffs)

This is who I think make the playoffs and who win the leagues. In the 8-Man ranks all league champions are guaranteed a berth. The rest will be selected by CHSAA Seeding Index. Seeding is determined by CHSAA Seeding Index. I am picking my 11 At-Large teams via non-league schedules, remaining schedules, and how I think teams will do. League Champions is posted first then the At-Large Teams.

League Champion Predictions Bold=League Champions

East: Granada (East)

Granada is your East League Champions.

East Central: Stratton (East Central)

Stratton is your East Central League Champions.

League 1: Briggsdale (League 1)

Briggsdale will face Fleming this week for the league championship. Briggsdale with a win over Fleming wins the league title and the automatic berth. A Fleming win forces a three-way tie for the league crown.

League 3: Hanover (League 3)

Hanover will face Deer Trail for the league crown this weekend. If Hanover wins, they win the league title and the automatic berth. If Deer Trail wins, they force a three-way tie for the league crown.

Southwest: Branson/Kim (Southwest)

Branson/Kim vs La Veta will be for the league crown. Winner of this game win the league crown.

At Large Teams

Walsh (East)

Eads (East)

Cheyenne Wells (East)

Otis (East Central)

Idalia (East Central)

Arickaree (East Central)

Genoa-Hugo (East Central)

Peetz (League 1)

La Veta (Southwest)

Sierra Grande (Southwest)

Primero (Southwest)

Playoff Hunt for Final Spots

Cheraw, Fleming, Mountain Valley, Prairie

6-Man does not have a ton of drama as I believe teams in the top 12 are locks for the playoffs. Briggsdale vs Fleming is a huge game not just for the league title, but Fleming sits at #17 and would be out of the playoffs. The other huge game this week is Primero vs Mountain Valley. Winner is in I believe with the loser sitting on the outside. Eads has a must win game against Miami-Yoder this week and I believe should get in with a win. The #16 spot would be taken by the winner of Hanover vs Deer Trail that is for the league crown.
