Looks like you have 17 teams listed, Glenwood in, but not in your pairings. Guessing winner of Glenwood/Harlan will be in and loser out.

Absolutely pure guessing on my part, with my RPIs only adjusted on 3A OWP and OOWP ...

D-1: Sergeant Bluff-Luton*
D-2: Dallas Center-Grimes*
D-3: Independence*
D-4: Western Dubuque*; Xavier
D-5: North Scott*; Iowa City Liberty
D-6: Solon*; Washington
D-7: Pella*; Knoxville
D-8: Bondurant-Farrar*; Norwalk
D-9: Lewis Central*; Harlan; Glenwood

(Obviously I have Bondurant-Farrar knocking off Norwalk in D-8,which may be a bold move on my part; Norwalk might actually still have a better RPI, even by losing. Like I say, I'm just guessing here. I also think we'll likely get three teams out of D-9, instead of D5.)

And the best bracket I can make out of that is:

Glenwood at Lewis Central
Norwalk at Sergeant Bluff-Luton
---
Harlan at Dallas Center-Grimes
Bondurant-Farrar at Pella
---
Knoxville at Western Dubuque
Xavier at Independence
---
Washington at North Scott
Iowa City Liberty at Solon

(That's not even a very good bracket, setting up Lewis Central and SBL in the quarters. A true 16v1 bracket [adjusted for district winners at home] might be something like this)

IC Liberty (16) at Lewis Central (1)
Norwalk (11) at Pella (8)
---
Harlan (5) at North Scott (9)
Washington (13) at Western Dubuque (4)
-----
Glenwood (14) at SBL (3)
Xavier (6) at Dallas Center-Grimes (10)
---
Bondurant-Farrar (12) at Independence (7)
Knoxville (15) at Solon (2)

Confused how Knoxville made this list? They are probably the 5th best team in D7 already losing to Pella and Grinnell and most likely to Newton and Osky.

Yeah, I was just making a stab at how the last four weeks might play out, and my guessing would have had Knoxville in the top 16 of RPI. Obviously my projections were incorrect (Bondurant-Farrar probably isn’t winning their district either) .. I knew it was a bad idea to try this with four weeks left.
