Playoff Projections (Week 10)

[jc84chill]

Here you go...

We ran through the districts and highlighted each team (in red) on the brackets that could still change spots depending on Week 10 results. All teams in black are locked into their current spots.

Please PM one of us if you notice that we left someone out that is locked in or vice versa.

Playoff Projections (Week 10) (http://www.5atexasfootball.com/08_playoffprojections_10.htm)

[caesarscott]

you keep predicting Pville to play Reagan and it seems to me its all but certain they're going to play Smithson Valley.

i think the only way your prediction can happen is if SV beats Roosevelt and Reagan loses to Madison. any other combo gives Reagan the top seed in the D2 bracket.

did y'all predict that to happen or just not pay close enough attention to it.

[HebronHawk]

I'm pretty sure that Hebron's spot cannot change. They are locked into #1 seeding in D2 for Dist. 6-5A no matter what happens on Friday with Marcus.

Hebron has the lowest enrollment in the district.

[wperry4]

Abilene High vrs Midland Lee in the Second Round would be legit to see....like the LSWC all over again

[coveaggie]

Are you picking Cove to lose to Harker Heights???
That would be the only way that AMC finishes ahead of us in the district standings

Playoff Projections (Week 10) (http://www.5atexasfootball.com/08_playoffprojections_10.htm)

In 6-5A, Hebron and Marcus are in. Hebron will be D2. While remote, there is the possibility Southlake Carroll could miss altogether so they certainly should not be in black. What has to happen:

SLC loses to Lewisville (IMO highly unlikely) AND
Coppell loses to Flower Mound

SLC, Coppell, and Flower Mound would all be 2-3 in district. This brings in whatever tie breakers exist for 6-5A.

If SLC is out, then Marcus falls to D2 since Coppell and Flower Mound both have larger enrollments.

SLC shouldn't be in black for sure, if they are I'll have to fix that.

[PermianFan]

According to a post on the El Paso message board Coronado, El Dorado and Hanks are still battling for the last two playoff positions in 1-5A. If it comes down to a coin-toss (they say that is the tie-breaker), El Dorado could lose out and Montwood would be in the big school bracket.

Why is Katy-Cinco a key game with playoff implications?

[KT2000]

Why is Katy-Cinco a key game with playoff implications?

If Seven Lakes and Mayde Creek win their games, then the Katy-Cinco game determines Division 1 seeding so that is potentially very significant.

[whatabeast]

Is it just me, or does it look like Pearland has a cake walk to the 4th round?

[Shoot2thrill]

Is it just me, or does it look like Pearland has a cake walk to the 4th round?

Do you have any idea how many teams thought they had a cake walk into the next round and ended up sitting home? And that includes the mighty Katy. ;):eek:

[MemorialMustangs]

Ya... If Katy and Cinco go D-I that game will determine who will lose to Memorial in the first round ;)

(a little sarcasm - I dont call games easy wins - with the exception of Northbrook and Spring Woods - before games)

[MemorialMustangs]

Is it just me, or does it look like Pearland has a cake walk to the 4th round?

they have to play us in the 3rd round if we beat Lamar... Ill be honest I dont know where we stand as far as other teams in Houston (due to our lack of out of district games - we would have played Pearland)... But we are very similar... Traditional pound it out teams with some of the top defense in Houston that have developed a passing game this season... Pearland's Oline scares me but if any year we beat Pearland it would be this year not because I think they are weak, but because of the way our offense has played... Offense is always the key for us because our defense consistantly holds teams to less than 10 points... But admittedly none of those teams were Pearland...

We still got a Katy district team (we could play anyone of like 4 teams) and probably Lamar before we can look or think about Pearland though...

[jdlewallen]

Gee, if everything works out, at least we wouldn't have to face Trinity until the FOURTH round instead of the third round this year...yeah....;)

Um, I'll have to dig up the thread, but someone said the tie breakers were points and SLC was ahead of both Coppell and FM, so I think the the final spot would be between those 2, rather than SLC.

Here is the post from SLC13 on the 6-5A thread.....

MF....... I believe you are correct, in a threeway tie, the 2nd level is point differential capped at either 14 or 21 (14 is more common). So here's what it would like:

Hebron is in - clinched D2 1st seed
Marcus is in - clinched D1 1st seed
SLC is in - clinched D2 2nd seed

Coppell controls its own destiny with a win.

Flower Mound needs SLC to win over Lewisville - and then they control their own destiny with a win over Coppell.

In a SLC, Coppell, FM three way tie (using 14 as cap) .....

SLC is +10 (or whatever the max is)
Coppell is +4
FM is -14 (or whatever the min is)

FM would need to beat Coppell by 10 or more to get into the PO's as D1 2nd seed.
If FM wins by 9, it would go to third level (whatever that is)........otherwise Coppell qualifiies.

There's no guarantee whatsoever Trinity makes it that far. Nothing they've done so far puts points on the scoreboard against Bell or for the postseason. Coppell shouldn't be taken lightly and a possible matchup in the 2nd round with Plano would give Trinity everything they could handle imo.

I don't see Judson making the deep playoff run this year. They lost to the only real competition they have seen this year in SV and Phlugerville and only beat Wagner 28-21 which is the only team worth anything in there district..I don't see them beating 2 26-5a teams before the semis.

[panthercrazy]

Man it seems that this year 5A is really sloppy.... Too Many Upsets?

[KT2000]

How does Division 1 Region 4 Weslaco move to Division 2 Region 4?

San Benito moved back into the projections after beating Pace. If Hanna beats Pace this week (possible), San Benito will be in as long as they don't lose to Rivera. Porter plays Los Fresnos, so Porter likely moves from 4-2 to 4-3 in district. Weslaco should take care of Lopez. If Pace wins, then Weslaco moves back to D1. There isn't much separating the teams after Los Fresnos, so this is still up in the air.

[BackNBlack97]

Just wondering why you have Abilene in black, when there's the chance of a 3 way tie between Haltom, Burleson and Weatherford, and Weatherford getting in would push them to D1? Is there a tie breaker in place that eliminates Weatherford even if they are in a 3 way tie?

There is a possibility Weatherford could make the playoffs, so I guess Abilene shouldn't be in black. I don't see it happening, but the possibility is there. Depending on the district tie break rules (your guess is as good as mine since they all do it their own way), Weatherford would need to beat Burleson by at least 12 points in order to overcome Haltom in a point differential. Haltom beat Weatherford by 6 and lost to Burleson by 1 (+5).

[BackNBlack97]

I'll be rooting for weatherford then... I'd love to see Abilene in the D1 playoffs... It is really sad what they did to the old LSWC, splitting them up and putting the Midessa teams in a district where they only get 1 non district game... AHS-PHS has been a really good match up the past few years... The chance for Abilene and Mojo to meet up again this year would be great...

With all four 265 teams locked it to the playoffs, the only thing remaining is seeding. The four teams play each other this weekend meaning right now all four still have a chance to win district. The seedings will not be determined until games are finished. If I had to pick a district champion I would say SV wins district and #1 seed in D2, Reagan 2nd seed D2, Madison 1st seed and TR 2nd seed in D1.

In another thread it has been said that even in a 3 way tie SLC holds the point differential tie breaker. The problem if all of those are tied:

Coppell beat SLC
SCL beat Flower Mound
IF Flower Mound beats Coppell you are on a Merry-Go-Round.

This is all moot if SLC beat LHS (which they should). They they are in, and Coppell and Flower Mound play for the last spot, and none of us need calculators to figure out the point differentials.

Lufkin plays Oak Ridge this weekend. Whomever wins this game will be the #1 seed out of this District and the loser will be the #2 seed and face Oak.

Leander is part of a 4-way tie on 3-3 records for the last two playoff spots.

Leander plays Cedar Park (one of the four tied) this week.

If Leander wins, they will be going D2 as the #2 seed and playing Creek.

If Cedar Park wins, then they will go D2 as the #2 seed and playing Creek.

The loser will miss out on the playoffs all together.

Round Rock has the D2 #1 seed on lock. Stony Point has the D1 #1 seed on lock.

I believe. :)

They don't!! Second game folks start filtering in during the first game. First game people try to get out while second and third game fans are trying to get in.

I know people that left early for the game and didn't get into their seats until the third quarter, INCLUDING the Trinity Band!!

That issue came from failure to treat it like a NFL game, the attendance at that game was crazy, I left at 8am and set in line to park about an hour and another 30 mins to get in the Stadium. Irving treated it like any other playoff game and was caught on their heels and as far as the band goes they left the school much later than any other group. It was rumored that they were practicing.

The band also treated it like any other playoff game and got caught too. :( And just a note, the band ALWAYS has a practice before the games; that's playoff games, district games, non-district games.

TS should have handled it like a NFL game, for sure. The didn't have nearly enough entrances open to get the cars moved into the lot in a decent manner. Hopefully they've learned something, but after the way a couple of other HS games were handled since then, I don't thing they have. :mad:

I would have to agree with CKE on this one. Judson has not played a meaningful game all year (maybe Wagner). No telling what the kids will do when they actually have to "play" a game for 4 quarters.

What they will do is play hard and win that simple :D What you all fail to realize is that Judson is not just winning but we are beating teams soundly. As far as P'ville and SV ...these were close games lost by mental breakdowns in the second half. And isn't P ville and SV supposedly the best of the best out there. What makes you think that if Judson lost to them at the beginning of the season..................with emphasis on the beginning that they haven't got any better. You will be surprised what a team can do when they work hard and believe!!

Also Judson is suppose to meet Stevens in round one. We should have a good game and advance....I hope :-) but then we are suppose to play Roosevelt. Didn't Madison just beat the crap out of them. If we do our job we can advance to the third round and we all know how the third round can be. So with all this being said Judson may meet Madison in round 4. SV beat Madison and SV beat Judson...........Madison Judson game should be a good game. I'm not going to sit here and say Judson WILL go deep but I think their chances are as good as any other D1 school in 26 5A.

Thanks for your valuable input to this thread though.

I have been a Texan by choice for 12 years. I have never had anything bad to say about Texas HS football. Well I finally found a chink in th armor. Tie breakers!!!! What is up with this coin flip :Censor:? The UIL couldn't higher someone with a calculator to put together a points for and against system with a cap so as to discourage running up the score? The fate of a team needs to be determined on the field, not with a coin flip. Of course that is my opinion, I could be wrong!:mad:

Correct.

Usually if it's a 2-way, it's head to head

3-way is traditionally a 14 or 21 ppg capped point differential. Although, one of the DFW districts uses a 15 point cap.

Question.

Are the matchups predetermined before the season? For example 22-5A district champion playes 21-5A runner up?

Yes. District 1 plays District 2, 3 plays 4 and so on.

If it stays the same the Euless Trinity-Coppell game would be a big bi-district game...whats the chances of the Coppell pulling the upset off if it does go down

[gstope]

"• District 19-5A: Eisenhower (6-0) is in and is the top Division I seed. Humble (4-2) is in and is the top Division II seed. Kingwood (3-2) plays Atascocita (2-3). Kingwood is in with a win. Atascocita is in with a win and an Aldine (2-3) loss. Three-way ties are decided by a tiebreaker."

I am certain that this is wrong. Kingwood is already in based on district tie breaker rules. With a three way tie between Kwood, Aldine and Atascocita, Kwood is +5, Aldine is +4 and Atascocita would be whatever they outscore Kwood by with a win to force a three way tie. Kingwood could be at worst 2nd out of three. As the final tally goes, if Atascocita wins the other District spot, Kingwood goes second seed Div 1 and if Aldine gets the other spot, Kingwood ends up Div II second seed.

So it will be Houston Lamar or Houston Madison first round depending on this weekends results.

I don't see that happening. Trinity is the definition of steady. Coppell is very streaky. Coppell has talent but it seems they have to get 'up' very high to play top ball. They can score fast. And of course, there is the Coach Campo factor.:)

Should be a 1 and out for Coppell if Trinity brings its normal game.

Should have been around in the ugly old days. Penetrations. The thought of a game being decided that way still makes me wanna hurl!

Or maybe they could higher someone hire up than that!!:D

This is true which is why in 26-5a you have to try to win by 21 each game because it is decided by points in our district and the maximum the district recognizes each game is 21

[goodessa]

I am an odessa high fan first but odessa permian fan second and I cant figure out for the life of me why permian gets no love in the texas 5a football rankings as it pertains to this website who currently rank odessa permian 11th.If you ask me this is maddnes.if you ask me, football is still easiest won when you are bigger and stronger than everybody else'I would go so far as saying permian has the biggest most talented offensive line in the state they are this years version of last years euless trinity team that basicly bullied everybody all the way to a state championship.all I have to say is LT 6"5 320,LG 6"3 360,C 6"0 270,RG 6"2 280,RT 6"5 300.WATCH OUT STATE.

[85Roughneck]

Not trying to pick nits here, but on the Playoff Projections page where all four teams from each district is listed 17-5 lists Morton Ranch with the * ... shouldn't Taylor have the * ... I'm fairly sure Morton is going D2 ... right?

[HebronHawk]

FM Marcus slides into the game vs. Euless Trinity as the No. 2 D1 seed from Dist. 6-5A on a points tiebreaker. Coppell gets the easier game as the No. 1 D1 seed vs. Justin Northwest.

FM Marcus is the better matchup from Dist. 6-5A D1 with a chance to beat Euless Trinity. Not a good chance, just a chance.

They are a big, physical team with a good running game which will match up better against Trinity than Coppell would, imo.

Well, I've seen matchups all over the place showing Trinity playing Coppell, and just about as many showing Trinity playing FM Marcus. So, I'm just not sure who the Trinity opponent will be. But, one thing I know for sure, Trinity plays at 4:00 and will just have to beat whoever shows up for the game.

I think Coppell would have a better shot at Trinity with their passing game, than Marcus with their running game. It's alright Trinity has some unfinished business with Marcus from the 90's.

This time it's straight form the coaches mouth...

Tuesday I saw the American flag video thingee which was pretty cool and Thursday I saw a music video being played constantly. I think they were trying to get the sound to match up with video but I'm not sure.

Someone told me thee cameras will be fixed within the week before Friday and I just heard a rumor that it is a Saturday game.

[THSBandDad]

When will we get to see the actual playoff brackets instead of last week's projection?

Also, since you had FMM in black in the lower half of the R1 bracket, what logic were you using that they'd be the "winner" of 6-5A over Coppell? (I'm sure you were using the same logic as the rest of us that still don't understand why they used a 3-way tie breaker in that instance. :confused:)

[eisenhower_true_eagle]

Is there a reason that the area rankings havent been changed since week 6.

[HomeofChampions'06]

I sure am ready to start making my picks!
