So assuming Rockford loses to N-K and New London beats Monty, the top 16 in RPI will make the postseason, minus Montezuma. Rockford will need help to make it even if they beat N-K. Monty is in and New London out if Monty wins.

CAM and Audubon is big to decide who wins that district and gets to host. If CAM wins, it appears CRB would host, if Audubon wins, outright district champ. All 3 in regardless of outcome.

Otherwise, Iowa Valley at HLV and SEW at Lamoni are the key games for teams currently outside the top 15. If Iowa Valley beats HLV, HLV likely doesn't qualify and the winner of Monty/New London becomes a host. Also likely D-4 is a one qualifier district if Iowa Valley wins. (Which is a joke, as that district and D-8 are absolutely loaded). Even if Lone Tree wins Friday, I don't see how mathematically they get in with tie-breaker procedures.

If Lamoni beats SEW, district 6 has one qualifier. If SEW beats Lamoni, Lamoni will still be in and SEW will host a playoff game as district champ.

It appears a little more cut and dry than last year's week 9, but still enough big games this week to give the top 20 in RPI hope to make it, other than Iowa Valley who appears mathematically eliminated.
