With the seeding process based solely on RPI there’s not much to project concerning playoff brackets in six-man football. The teams will be seeded in order with the top eight seeds claiming home games in round one.
The only question involves Manzanola and whether the Bobcats will stay in the top 16 of RPI. They are a league champion and have qualified for the bracket but the question is if they will push another team ranked ahead of them out of the pairings.
The RPI numbers were updated Saturday morning but will go through major changes based on results from games today. Several matchups are important including Arickaree/Woodlin-North Park, Cheyenne Wells-Otis and Edison-Cotopaxi. So far, Arickaree/Woodlin and Cotopaxi have picked up wins.
But using the updated RPI numbers from today, the bracket appears like this:
#1 Stratton/Liberty vs #16 Manzanola
#8 Granada vs #9 Fleming
#4 Peetz vs #13 Cotopaxi
#5 Otis vs #12 Genoa Hugo
#3 Arickaree/Woodlin vs #14 Flagler/Hi Plains
#6 Prairie vs #11 Idalia
#2 Kit Carson vs #15 North Park
#7 Cheyenne Wells vs #10 Mountain Valley
Again the numbers will change based on results from games on Saturday and if the RPI is updated tonight, we can also provide a different set of pairings.
