Below is a bracket, 1-32, done just off the current RPI with no conference champions seeding advantage. As we all know some teams will change spots based upon the games that are being played this week but I think its fun to look at the playoffs if they were done this way. There is no "easy bracket" and it would help keep some of the games that should be 3rd or 4th round games from happening in the early rounds.

1- Reidsville
32- Madison
16- East Rutherford
17- CSD
9- Forest Hills
24- Hendersonville
8- Salisbury
25- Bandys

4- Monroe
29- East Gaston
13- Burns
20- Lexington
12- Brevard
21- Surry Central
5- Randleman
28- West Davidson

2- Shelby
31- Morehead
15- Lincolnton
18- Maiden
10- East Surry
23- Anson
7- Walkertown
26- West Lincoln

3- West Stokes
30- TW Andrews
14- North Surry
19- North Stanly
11- Mount Pleasant
22- North Forsyth
6- Bunker Hill
27- Southwest Randolph

Does anyone know how many teams in the West will not be participating in the football playoffs? Looking at the horrible devastation from the hurricane I can't believe some schools can participate. In 2018 when Florence hit the eastern part of NC lots of non conference games were not made up but in the west many teams were in conference schedules already. I'm thinking if there are a number of teams in the west unable to play then the "line" between east and west will move substantially east. What does the message board think? Also, will there be the same number of teams in the playoffs?

Thanks in advance,

Panthers host the Falcons in a game that will go a long way in deciding the Mnt 7 champ. Gametime: 7:30. (limited updates)

I just read the Laurinburg Exchange and saw Bailey's statement after Scotland's' loss to Pinecrest quote: “I really do feel like they’re (Pinecrest) the best football team in the conference".

That should be some good Raider locker room material to post!!


Go Raiders

Hard to believe we're at game 10. This should be a running clock by half-time. Twos and threes should be able to get some reps. Ones who are nicked up should be able get some rest.
What are yalls thoughts

South Rowan has a chance to go 5-5 and this is the best season they had since 2009 when they went 5-5. Carson is 3-6. South Rowan has good chance of winning this one. Should be good county rival game.

Are all the conference champions decided for the conferences in the west? Or is there a conference that will be decided this week?

Here would be the playoff field as of today. Obviously, a lot WILL change: there are games tonight, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I was going to wait until Friday but I've had plenty of questions offline about seeing the potential seeding throughout the week. In our conference alone, I expect Bunker Hill to take the Conference Champion seed with a win Friday at West Caldwell, so that'll definitely change things up. So I'll upload this one, one tomorrow, and one on Friday. I don't expect things out East to change all that much, but the West could see some shifting a good bit. If I am able, I'll upload one on Saturday and Sunday...but this weekend is full for me so maybe not.

Again, this is as RPI stands right now:

Shoutout to South Rowan for going 5-5 on the season. Best season since 2009 when they went 5-5. Big win of the season when they shut Concord out 17-0. Will they be making the playoffs

Normally don’t post these threads till Friday but this one is different. Panthers battle the Bears in what is likely the last game ever at our beloved Panther Pit. Construction begins on a new school, stadium, & field in November. Below is a link for a great history show put together by the crew at FPSN…..man I miss those pines! The crowd noise would hit them and bounce right down to the field. It’s a sad day for us old timers.

I figured I'd get this one started, Mitchell is getting better as the year goes on with a young team, im thinking a two or three score win by the cougs where they pull away late

Will Butler will be able to bounce back and pull out a surprising win this Friday,

What a story line. Fantastic! Going to be interesting.

Crest has to pick one IMO!

Lots of great stuff to talk about this week.

Lloyd vs The hired gun.

Most of us assume that when the dust settles and it’s the week of the regional final that the final two teams will come from the group of Shelby, Monroe, and Reidsville. However, I believe there are some other teams that have the ability to shake things up a bit in the West. Not to say that anyone will derail the inevitable but I do think there are several teams who are sneaky good and could play spoiler to the status quo if they are clicking and the final brackets fall just right. The top 3 in the mid-state conference and the CVAC are dangerous. You then have Burns, Brevard, Randleman, and East Rutherford who will bring dangerous teams into the postseason. Who out of these has the best chance to upset the apple cart?

Out of curiosity I was seeing who all is playing this Friday. I know a couple that are.
