Class 1A Football Playoff Projections & Predictions Week 7

Class 1A Football Playoff Projections & Predictions Week 7

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. These are very early projections and expect big changes week to week. We will update our league predictions next week along with our projections. Good Luck to all teams!

Class 1A Playoff Predictions (Who I think make the playoffs)

This is who I think make the playoffs and who win the leagues. In Class 1A 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 9 At-Large teams via non-league schedules, remaining schedules, and how I think teams will do. Expect changes week to week especially making these projections/predictions so early. League Champions are posted first then the At-Large Teams.

Playoff Hunt for Final Spots

Cedaredge, Holyoke, Rye, Prospect Ridge, Denver Christian, Peyton, Ellicott

Currently giving Wiggins, the edge over Rye for the Final spot. This is another huge week of games and will go a long way to determining the 16 teams. I still believe 14 teams will be in the mix for 7 spots so winning will be key.
