6-Man Football Playoff Projections Week 10

6-Man Football Playoff Projections Week 10

This year to reach the playoffs is simple. Either win your league title or be inside the top 16 of the CHSAA Seeding Index. 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, but I will also look at if the season ended today who would make the playoffs at the end. Good Luck to all teams.

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.

Playoff Hunt for Final Spots

Mountain Valley

6-Man does not have a ton of drama as the other small classes. I believe the top 14 are locks for the playoffs. The only team on the bubble is Genoa-Hugo. They face Hanover this week and a win locks them in. A loss and Mountain Valley will have a small shot at the playoffs. I think Genoa-Hugo gets in for the final spot.
