A couple of line bumps for geography, and you wouldn't even have to reseed.

(1*) Centennial vs (15) Urbandale
(13*) Dowling vs (7) Johnston

(4*) Valley vs (12) Waukee
(5) Fort Dodge vs (10) CR Prairie

(3*) Indianola vs (14) Ames
(6*) IC West vs (11) Davenport North -- district rematch, but DN would be #3 from that district

(2*) Cedar Falls vs (16) CR Kennedy
(8*) Bettendorf vs (9) Muscatine

But the state said they will reseed, so there's no bracket tree to begin with.

But the state said they will reseed

Where? There's nothing about it in the RPI release or the FAQ release, and there is no postseason manual available.

 

[screwloose]

Hell...I'm not sure. Pretty sure I read it somewhere. Maybe I heard it on the radio.

 

[HAWKAHOLIC#5]

I still need clarification on the Playoffs? I know the Iahsaa is using RPI to rank teams. What I am not sure about is if they are going to use any geographical bias towards first round playoff teams? OR is at the end of the year it will be seeded by RPI and then #1 play #16, #2 plays #15, ....and so on? Then reseed again after each round, correct?

 

[screwloose]

Don't think they're going to straight seed it. They'll use geography, but it'll be loosely done. Example, if #1 is more than 125 miles from #16, but #15 is...then #1 will likely play #15 instead. The state will try to avoid district rematches also.
