209 Sports High School Football Playoff Projections (Week 4)

The way I project the teams is based on the best math I can possibly do, and it is also based on if the season ended today.  At the end of the season, you will see some of these teams in the playoffs, some will be eliminated.  By the end of the season, we will all find out who is good, and whose good and bad fortunes were products of how the individual teams schedueled their non-league.

Several leagues began league-play this past weekend: Metro League, Modesto Metro Conference, Sierra Valley Conference, Trans Valley League, Valley Oak League, and Western Athletic Conference in the Division I-IV Group.  Southern League started in the Division V-VI Group.  Also in the Division V-VI group, the Sacramento Metro Athletic League is one of the few leagues in the state in which the teams play each other twice each year, so that league has had a few league games already. 

One change I am making in this projections is that the team with the worst record in each league will be out, no matter how good its record is.  The one rule the Sac-Joaquin has in the at-large berths is that an at-large team must have at least two league wins, and the likelyhood that the last place team will have two wins is so low that I will keep them out.  This will affect one team in this week's projections.

Key: 209 teams in italics and bold. League leaders in red. ^=Teams not in last week's projections.
