After Urbandale's loss and new information on transfers, my guess for the top 5 teams going into the playoffs are:
1) SEP: Still probably the best team and likely new champion, but they haven't played Ankeny or Dowling...
2) TIE:Ankeny and Dowling-both teams have received recent transfers, and Ankeny looks explosive offensively. Dowling still has the crown and aside from losing to Johnston, has been pretty stable and hasn't lost in the playoffs for quite some time and best tradition/program in IA football this century. Both have had relatively tough schedules. A matchup would be quite the battle this year.
4) Waukee: They keep getting better and can hang with the best this year.
5) Iowa City West? Fewer games and less competition, but still seem competitive.
Was Urbandale over-rated this whole time because of their easy schedule, or do they actually have a shot at going to the Dome?
