Prelim Brackets 4 - Final

- Start date
In my predictions yes. As it stands now...PG only has a 0.00247 lead over Monroe. That is easily erased and overtaken by Monroe beating a 6-3 Forest Hills team because PG's presumable victory over a 3-7 Wheatmore team is going to hurt them more than help them. My predictions give Monroe a new RPI of 0.62181 (was 0.60162) and PG a 0.60400 (was 0.60409).
Same goes for Hendo, their RPI of 0.62865 will drop due to playing Patton who is 2-6. I have Hendo's new RPI coming in at 0.62023 (drop of 0.00842), with Monroe gaining 0.02019 in RPI (in my predictions), this sets them at 0.62181 as stated above. This gives them an edge of 0.00158.
In reality that isn't a whole lot at all...a difference of an opponent having 1 extra win somewhere. Monroe not playing a full schedule has helped them immensely, being able to avoid bad opponents has helped their RPI. Take my Maiden Blue Devils for example, we have two teams that are winless and count as a 0.00000 winning percentage in our calcs...without those we could be way higher in RPI. All Maiden can do is hope that Fred T Foard beats St Stephens this Friday and that West Caldwell beats East Burke, that'll get rid of our 0's in our equation. That would make them both 1-9, which would be factored in as 1-8 since we're one of their losses, and accounting for that would increase our RPI to 0.66869 (+ 0.01). Which in the grand scheme of things here wouldn't change any seeding at all. But in most places up and down the chart here an increase of 0.01 changes things for a lot of people.
Here are my top 20 teams in 2A according to my RPI, based off my predictions and re-calculating the RPI:
| 1 | SHELBY | 0.70414 |
| 2 | EAST SURRY | 0.67097 |
| 3 | PRINCETON | 0.66915 |
| 4 | EAST DUPLIN | 0.66101 |
| 5 | MAIDEN | 0.65869 |
| 6 | NORTHEASTERN | 0.65366 |
| 7 | REIDSVILLE | 0.65009 |
| 8 | WALLACE-ROSE HILL | 0.64506 |
| 9 | WHITEVILLE | 0.64060 |
| 10 | MONROE | 0.62181 |
| 11 | HENDERSONVILLE | 0.62023 |
| 12 | SALISBURY | 0.61877 |
| 13 | ST. PAULS | 0.61714 |
| 14 | ROANOKE RAPIDS | 0.61675 |
| 15 | BUNKER HILL | 0.61053 |
| 16 | WASHINGTON | 0.60704 |
| 17 | PROVIDENCE GROVE | 0.60400 |
| 18 | BURNS | 0.60032 |
| 19 | CHASE | 0.59951 |
| 20 | CUMMINGS | 0.59695 |
People might see Salisbury down at 12 and think nothing about it…but let me tell you about them boys they BADNEWS!!!
One day away from knowing what's what. I'm interested to see how it all shakes out
We are too! Bearcat.
For the record….I’d rather play any of the top 10 in the first round….than playing our own conference teams again Ugh!
If Grizz’s prediction holds true…we could potentially play our own conference teams in the first 2 rounds! Double ugh!😔
Everyone knows about Salisbury. One of the favorites to win it all for sure.
Man you have about nailed it barring upsets tonight. Locally some interesting matchups possible if SWR hosts Polk, and Providence Grove hosts Lincolnton. Lincolnton in particular is a tough tough draw, the Wolves are always tough. Great football over in yalls area.
We're the best mediocre teams you've ever seen
Ha ha I know better than that. And in more sports than just football.
Walkertown out! Wow!
That’s..
Salisbury vs Mt. Pleasant…1st round.
Maiden vs North Stanly…1st round
Reidsville vs Newton Conover…1st round
East Surry vs Randleman….1st round
I’m excited again! Grizz!…I love these matchups!

My friend, please take no offense, but we in this conference don't want to play Maiden again, either. Can I get an Ouch ! from last week.😵
Hendersonville played Patton on Tuesday and won 70-20... their ranking has already dropped by playing them....I had it when I was working on brackets it was .63040 it dropped to what it is now after the game... so it shouldn't drop again by beating Patton...
I'm a simple man I don't ask for much but I really wanna see Reidsville vs Shelby 😂. Mainly for the comments lol.
Man it could be a rnd 3 war, Salisbury at Shelby!!!! Wow!!!
Same. At supper club last night our boys were saying they REALLY want Reidsville because of all the junk they talk. I hope they get their wish!
If it happens I'm multitasking that night. Watching tarboro play and watching that game lol. The trash talk alone will be worth it lol
Still can't figure out how Reidsville and those Durham teams are in the west. Those schools are way out in the eastern half of the state.
West Craven is no joke, coaches and fans better not sleep on them. Their defensive line looks similar to ours at Northeastern. They have a very good kicker and a beast at running back. I’ve seen a lot of teams play this year and they might just be the best.
Some years Reidsville goes west and some years they go east. It's nchsaa they love Messing things up lol.
Reidsville is right beside Greensboro. It is west. Reidsville is not that close to Durham a little over a hour.
Question for Reidsville fans I'm rewatching the 2005 2-aa state title game and they mentioned the QB name was Eric Teague. Is he coach Jimmy teagues son? If so I never knew he had a son that played football.
He was ok, that was a third round team that year but somehow managed to get to the ship. Seems like I remember him throwing 1 or 2 bad ints in that game. Anyways he has been the OC for Reidsville for several years now. Seems to be getting better with age, he's probably around 33 yrs old now.
Became starting quarterback at Methodist where he ranked third all time in career passing yards with 3,395... Ranked third all time in career passing completions with 297... Holds the fourth spot all time for career passing touchdowns with 16... Earned USA South Honorable Mention honors... Named Methodist Scholar Athlete and USA South Academic All-Conference.
lol....yeah that's usually true but in this case I had just gotten back to home from Croatan/West Carteret game....pulled one of your tricks and drove 235 miles after the game.....congrats to your West Craven Eagles....and again thanks for driving down from Vanceboro on thursday evening to watch my grandson and his team....meant a lot to me, the family and my grandson..he kept asking me about it......I told him you were a true high school football fan..............
Thanks rambbq. Tell your grandson I was serious when I told him to come to West Craven!!
How did this happen last year?
Does anyone know?
They were 4-6 from a split conference.
1ST 2nd or 3rd and/or at least 0.500 record to be seeded as a 1CC.
South G is a wild card currently
You had them at wild card last year in your projected bracket….but….they were seeded as a conference champion.
I want to know why?…are we misinterpreting the rule?
Owen was 4-6 last year as well…and yet…they were not seeded as a conference champion.
Why?
Last year they finished 3rd in their conference...I was wrong bc I assumed with a loosing record thatv3rd didn't matter
So the only thing that makes sense….is the rule is miswritten…..it must be ”or” not “and/or”.
