Odd question but does anyone know if these week 9 game's stats that are scheduled for the smaller class teams (8-man, A, 1A, 2A) that didn't make the playoffs count when voting for all district and all state teams?

Imo they should not. If you didn't make the playoffs in 2A on down your stats should stop at week 8. Varsity Bound is still recording stats for teams that played an extra week 9 game so I was just curious?

1.) Biden falsely claims his son died in Iraq.
2.) Biden incorrectly counts three words.
3.) Biden incorrectly spells a web address.
4.) Biden asked if a deceased congresswoman was present.
5.) Biden thanks first responders and a congresswoman.
6.) Biden claims his grandfather was an “All-American football player.”
7.) Biden exaggerates his 2004 house fire.
8.) Biden improperly remarks on his Justice Department’s probe into his son.
9.) Biden claims Vice President Kamala Harris has been president of the United States.
10.) Biden says there is a high risk of a nuclear “Armageddon.”
11.) Biden calls a Senate candidate’s wife a great future senator.


May God help us all.

Not sure they’re digging out of this hole.

You west girls are hetting your asses kicked this year.

But c’mon dwarf… he was scared of a girl in a dress?

Potential host priority for the quarters, left to right, based on language in the manual.

In other words, whichever two teams remain in each pod after 10/28 -- the one furthest LEFT in these tables should be the host for the quarterfinal round.

1. Highest RPI







CRITERIA FOR CLASS 2A, 1A, A, and 8-PLAYER:
1. District Finish
2. District Record (6-0 = 5-0; 5-1 > 4-1)
3. Head-to-Head
4. LAST Alphabetical

right now. UT would still Shawshank them, but they'd beat FSU.

Almost went with straight seeds, except for saving Sioux City East from a cross-state trip to Pleasant Valley. I guess that’s okay.

It sets up an immediate Linn-Mar at Prairie rematch that Linn-Mar won 28-13 just last night. That could have been easily avoided with City at Prairie and Linn-Mar at Johnston … or as someone else mentioned, Waukee NW at Johnston, City at Prairie, LM at Kennedy, which is waaay less travel and still not too far apart seed-wise.

Davenport West (16) at Dowling Catholic (1)
Waukee Northwest (9) at Cedar Rapids Kennedy (8)
—
Ames (15) at Southeast Polk (2)
Linn-Mar (10) at Cedar Rapids Prairie (7)
—
Sioux City East (13) at Ankeny (3)
Iowa City High (11) at Johnston (6)
—
West Des Moines Valley (14) at Pleasant Valley (4)
Ankeny Centennial (12) at Cedar Falls (5)

This one is all over the place, which is understandable when 4 of the 6 top RPIs are clustered in the East. Still … a Xavier-Wash district rematch, when Fort Madison is going through CR on their way to Waverly anyway? Xavier gets no favors with Bondurant-Farrar in the second round, either … that is one tough 7 seed. And how about 8 seed Spencer getting the 15th seed for their matchup? Yes, Western Dubuque to Spencer is probably too long of a trip, but Indianola or Newton or Webster City couldn’t have fit against Spencer? Not that Glenwood is an easy 15 seed for Spencer to face - that’s still a tough one.

Also, a tough outcome for Marion … they actually finished 16th in RPI with a 5-4 record (after going 1-8 last year), but had the bad luck to have CR Wash right behind them at 17. Since Wash defeated Marion early in the season, tgey got the last spot and Marion was left out.

Cedar Rapids Washington (16) at Cedar Rapids Xavier (1)
Indianola (10) at Bondurant-Farrar (7)
—
Fort Madison (13) at Waverly-Shell Rock (2)
Western Dubuque (9) at North Scott (6)
—
Le Mars (14) at Lewis Central (4)
Glenwood (15) at Spencer (8)
—
Webster City (12) at Iowa City Liberty (3)
Newton (11) at Carlisle (5)

This isn't commentary on the laughable roughing calls on Young. It's happening every game in college and the NFL. It's making defense an afterthought.

Getting worked by the carnival workers

Who wants to take a stab at predicting 1st round matchups in Class 2A?? It looks like there are still a couple games this week that could tweak things, especially in D3!!

D8 is pretty much locked in now with their seeds unless I'm mistaken. The closest district to them is probably D7 so if you match up the seeds after projected winners Friday, we could have the following matchups:

1) West Marshall
4) Clarke

2) Clarinda
3) Roland Story

2) PCM
3) DSM Christian

1) Greene County
4) Chariton
