With no games scheduled on Saturday, the 3A Football regular season wrapped up on Friday and now the attention can turn to the playoff brackets set for release on Sunday. Qualifiers will be determined by league standings and RPI numbers. Conference champions earn automatic bids regardless of where they end up in RPI and the remaining slots are then filled based RPI rankings. A total of 16 teams qualify with first round games next Friday and Saturday.
Here are the updated RPI standings from this morning. We believe all the games have been entered.
We are still trying to determine league champions in the North Central 2 and Southern 2 conferences as both appear to have ended in three way ties. Frederick, Mead and Holy Family all ended up 3-1 in the North Central 2 but all three teams are safely in the playoff bracket so determining a champion should not delay the bracket release. It’s the same scenario in the Southern 2 where Pueblo East, Pueblo County and Pueblo South all ended the conference slate with one loss but again all three teams are in the top 10 of RPI and will qualify.
Thomas Jefferson is the only conference champion outside the top 16 as the Spartans qualify even with their 18th place ranking. If these numbers are final, the defending spring champions would bump league rival George Washington from the playoff field.
