4A Projected Final Point Standings...

[screwloose]

Since I can't do these officially any more, I was wondering how things would shake down if the state still used the 4A Point System and East/West 1-16 bracketing. Enjoy...

Screwloose.
It seemed like 4A teams required 360 pts or above or a conference championship to qualify under the old 16 team format?

 

[screwloose]

360 had you in the discussion. 365 was usually the last spot, which would be 6-3 with 4 bonus opponents. 370 almost always got you in.

370 points sounds right....your mock 360 pts and below teams are all #3 and #4 seeds now. But you didn't play 3A schools in the 16 team format (and penalized for it) .

However,
I never liked penalizing 4A teams for playing 3A opponents back in the day...especially if you were a 4A team that was not in a large 4A conference. Plus in 4A non-district play it makes sense to play a nearby 3A rival for a couple of games.

In 2007 Des Moines Lincoln finished with a record of 7-2 with 380 final points and did not qualify for the playoffs.
