I know there have been a few of you guys on here that do playoff projections. I started mine this weekend. I went through the last 3 weeks and just gave wins to the higher ranked teams on Calpreps to project final records. A few things I came up with.
There are 11 5-5 teams that I have getting in. After doing the projections there were only 67 teams that have 6+ wins.
D1: Folsom, Oak Ridge, St. Mary's, Franklin (EG) and Jesuit seem to be the top 4.
D2: Granite Bay, Central Catholic, Del Oro, Inderkum and Rockin possibly being the top teams.
D3: Going to have to good match-ups this year. Oakdale, Christian Brothers, Patterson, Sacramento, Del Campo and Antelope. A lot of things can happen in this bracket.
D4: Again, I have Manteca in the D4 field like they were last year. If this happens expect them to run through the section just like last year. The closest game they had last year was in the section championship vs. Placer and they still won by 22. Los Banos and Placer will probably be pitted on the other side of the bracket as 2 and 3 seeds and play in the semi's for a chance to face Manteca in the Finals. Should Manteca get into D3 the championship could be between Los Banos and Placer.
D5: Sonora, Calaveras, Capital Christian and Orestimba are the top teams here. If seeded right I see Sonora and Calaveas squaring off again for the section championship. They played each other in Week 5 and had a great game with Sonora coming out on top 59-50
D6: I think it's going to be Escalon and Summerville in the championship here. Escalon has really come on this year and hope to send legendary Coach Lou out with a championship. Summervilles only loss this year has been to in league rival, Sonora, 37-27. However, they do still have a strong Calaveras team on the schedule in Week 9.
D7: I have Stone Ridge Christian vs. Big Valley Christian in the championship here. I don't have a lot of knowledge on any of these teams other than Stone Ridge but I think whoever Stone Ridge faces they win the title.
I know there's still a lot of football to be played and plenty of upsets to come but I usually start doing this in Week 7 to kill time and have some fun seeing how close I get to the actual brackets at the end of the year. I'd like to hear what you guys think will transpire over the next 3 weeks and correct any mistakes I may have made so far. Thanks.
