Lot of undefeated and 1 loss teams

I have a feeling there will be more than a couple one loss teams not making playoffs. Crazy to think about.

 

[ISUChip]

There are only 20 teams with 0 or 1 loss. And a bunch of them still have to play each other. Check back in 2 weeks.

If you finish with 1 loss you will almost guarantee yourself a spot in playoffs. Don't see it happening where there are any 1 loss teams left out. Will be interesting though to see what 2 loss teams will get left out and by what RPI margin they miss it by.

 

[ISUChip]

17 teams left with 0 or 1 loss.

Right now, 1 one-loss team would be on the outside because the leader in D5 has two losses.

Oct. 5
New London (6-0) at Iowa Valley (6-0)
Fremont-Mills (5-1) at East Mills (5-1)

Oct. 12
Central City (6-0) at Midland (6-1)

Oct. 19
Northwood-Kensett (6-0) at Rockford (5-1)
HLV (5-1) at Iowa Valley (6-0)
Stanton (5-1) at Fremont-Mills (5-1)

I don't think D5 will keep anyone out, it will be a district with a three way tie who muck up the playoff spots.

It will be interesting to see how the State handles first round match ups. If they traditionally give home field to the district champions and don't rematch districts could be some interesting travel first round.

 

[cjm3260]

That would be 10 teams from the east and only 6 from the west. Are we sure that the state isn't going to take the top 8 from each like in past years?

 

[privateer13]

State has released post season manual. The district winners will host regardless of RPI and the will not match up district runner ups with district champs.

 

[cjm3260]

But if there are 3 from a district the district champ and the 3rd place team can play each other.
