In checking MaxPreps today Eureka has dropped to 7th after a loss to Arcata with Clayton Valley moving to 6th and O'dowd at 8th. I still think O'dowd gets the 6th spot if they beat Oakland Tech on Thursday, but with MaxPreps rankings who knows.

Does the Diablo League(Acalanes and CVC) have League playoffs? Potential loss for CVC that could drop them out of the 6 spot.
Same with BOD...does their league have a league playoff with another h2h matchup with Piedmont looming then?
One would assume how those 2 league playoffs matchups playout would decide the 6 spot.
2 losses to Arcata now for Eureka... Im thinking D1 and BEHIND Arcata in the seedings. Soooo..maybe 5 seed? Gonna find out with Eureka just how beholden to MP the commitee is...

As of today...
CVC 6 (NCS) / 57 (in state)
Eureka 7/58
BOD 8/67
That's telling me that if Eureka wins their league playoffs...a BIG if as they have lost TWICE to Arcata already and CVC loses to Acalanes, that Eureka still could sneak into that 6 spot...BOD (67) with another win over Piedmont might not be able to make up that ground.
I dont know if the "league champion" status in Eureka"s league is for regular season champion or league playoff champion. If it's for regular season champion (Arcata) then the 3 seed won't have to go to Eureka for that game.
Very interesting stuff!
O'Dowd league does not have playoffs so they will not play Piedmont again. As we don't know what goes into MaxPreps rankings I wonder how much a lost to Acalanes would hurt Clayton Valley in the algorithm as it would be considered a quality lost. I think that even if Eureka wins their league the best win between the final three would be if O'Dowd's beats Tech which should move them up, but don't know if it would be enough.
If no league playoff...does anyone know who is considered the "league champ" if BOD and Piedmont tie?
CN will be league champ so if that is the 4/5 the game its at CN regardless.
If CLET is the 3? Then that BOD (at 6) scenario could mean CLET at BOD.(if BOD is designated as league champ)
One would think..hope? that common sense would prevail (yeah right) and that no matter what happens that either CVC or BOD would get placed as the 6 seed.
But based on football and San Marin getting thrown into the OPEN as the 8 to face DLS tells me common sense is dead.

Last season Piedmont and O’Dowd tied with Piedmont being designated the league champion. I have no clue how they came to that conclusion or how it will impact this year.
