CIF-SS Playoff Projections
Week 10
Nine Weeks of games done, headed into the home stretch, and still lots of questions to be answered. There will be some big showdowns in Week 10, many determining playoff spots, as well as seedings, and automatic qualifiers.
The CIF has released its Playoff Bulletin, which outlines the criterion for selection. This year, with some changes to leagues, the committee will award 175 automatic qualifiers, along with forty-three (43) At-Large bids.
Whenever possible, we’ve tried to follow the general rule of At-Large teams being over .500, but as always, there will be a few 4-6 teams that sneak in. Also, we’ve added the parameter of teams needed to win at least one league game to be in. There were notable exceptions, in Capo Valley (7-2) and Etiwanda (6-3), were both included in the field, despite having no league wins. Capo Valley plays Mission Viejo in Week 10, but already have wins against Norte Vista, Aliso Niguel and Barstow, who are all playoff teams. Etiwanda finishes up againsg Damien, and has wins over Cajon, Ayala and Glendora. Plus, both the Baseline and South Coast leagues been gauntlets.
Due to the Trinity League potentially getting all six teams in, we’e gone with a ten-team bracket in Division 1 as well. So, here we go, 218 through nine weeks of games, with a lot of questions to be answered in Week 10. We’ve added an addendum at the end, to help break down some of the AQ scenarios.
Here is your current projection. Enjoy the games this week.
