Part 2 of 2.
The last few weeks, I have been giving the weekly playoff scenarios if playoffs were starting those weeks. I credited Gridiron New jersey with my numbers and since they did a similar article yesterday, I will do my own scenarios, instead of writing a “me too” article.
I will give you the playoff scenario by using the northing numbers, with the highest in each section to the lowest (north to south). I will start with Central, followed by the south.
I will also list the schools currently seeded 17 to 21. Some have little chance of qualifying, but I do not know how the new system works. Therefore, I will list those five schools with their northing numbers the same as the teams currently qualifying for the playoffs, starting with the school furthest north.
I will list the teams, followed by their northing numbers in bold face.
