Simmons Ratings - Projected bracket

[SimmonsRatings]

I have a projected bracket based on how the RPI might move following tonight's games. It won't be exactly right because the RPI moves around so much, but it should be close. They have locked it for now, so I am taking a guess at RPI movement.

And of course, I have all my usual content available - scores, predictions, rankings, streaks, standings, etc. Check it out!

That's probably what's wrong with RPI right there. That Erwin is the number one seed in the West. When they're probably about 20th. They may lose their first round game

No they won't. They may not be 1 but they certainly aren't 20th. 4 or 5 maybe.

I get teams like Dudley and Hickory but I would love do see the 20 teams you would put ahead of Erwin? Let's hear it?

 

[NCFB73]

I know RPI plays into it but Dudley at 5 seems disrespectful. That team is the real deal.

Happy for Erwin after all folks been through up there, proud of Rodney..
Texted him after the game to send congrats and let him know proud of him.
He know long road lays ahead, hes just happy to be in this position

I was so happy for him. He's a great guy. He's very involved with his players and not just football. He picks them up and takes them to church on Sunday's. I don't care what seed Erwin gets, we know the 3A West is no joke. Having a home game is the real win at this point!

Erwin will probably go deeper in the playoffs than any other 3a team here in WNC.They may not be number one but they are in the top five.

 

[SimmonsRatings]

Just made adjustments based on new RPI released this morning.

 

[goldendomer10]

Does a 3-way conference tie default to RPI to determine the champion or is the tiebreaker determined on a conference by conference basis?

I intended to listen to the Pisgah radio show this morning, bc I assume it was discussed, but ended up being busy at the time.

 

[Reynoldsrocks2]

I know this if AC Reynolds is without the 4 guys who got injured last night (3 left on crutches and 1 in walking boot) round 1 will be a tough task even playing at home. Max Guest was our only QB really, so we are going to have to have tryouts for that position this week! 🤔 We are open to taking in a QB transfer for the playoffs. 😂😂

I know the Big South goes by RPI to break 3way ties.

Ok, that may be what the Mountain 7 does as well. It just stinks that us, West, and Smoky all wound up so close in RPI for one to get separated out and not the others but I guess at least in our case we probably get a home game while Smoky looks like they’ll miss out on one.

did acr not have a jv qb last year and this year?

I believe THE CREST CHARGERS have an EXTRA QB.

 

[AhsCougar1]

You’re only allowed to use 1 transfer credit on QBs per year and you already used it up

 

[Reynoldsrocks2]

Yes, but he tore an ACL early in year and they used the wildcat for the last few games. Remember our conference didn’t play any JV games after the storm, JV’s were put on varsity in most cases. The JV QB has been on the sidelines every game on crutches.

 

[bearsfan83]

So where’s the brackets ? Its after 3 pm what’s the hold up

 

[EverybodyHatesTheChamp]

2 games playing now

 

[NCFB73]

I believe they come out tomorrow afternoon/evening.

That’s cold blooded 😂

Coach Brindley said that was right and we may end up playing Smoky at home. Like Simmons says.

Think that guy at Tuscola now regrets leaving?

 

[BD Warrior]

I think ACR will be fine next week when they have time to bring in whoever the next quarterback is going to be. Max Guest went down with 5 minutes to go in the game and Erwin up 28 to 21. That is a horrible time to try to bring in a young quarterback and throw him to the wolves basically. I look for them to regroup next week

 

[nueman]

Not as much as Tuscola does !

 

[SimmonsRatings]

Official brackets are coming out Sunday afternoon

 

[NCFB73]

Not as much as Tuscola does !

Huh?

 

[skillylander]

Think that guy at Tuscola now regrets leaving?

He looked real regretful last night in Canton after every one of his 3 interceptions.

 

[nueman]

My point exactly

 

[NCFB73]

This is wild!

 

[roughtrader4444]

Carolina Varsity has updated their brackets again. This is wild!

Neither can I. Especially when you push a site that is full of ads. Can't be ready without scrolling through them then doesn't have shit for information other than what the NCHSAA has. This is wild

 

[EverybodyHatesTheChamp]

What time are brackets usually released?

 

[beamer24]

Prelims should come out soon. I'd say by 5 final brackets will be out

 

[crazyduke3]

What time are brackets usually released?

Feels like Thursday at this rate. Per usual, gotta screw off first.

 

[AhsCougar1]

This is ridiculous it takes so long. I’m trying to find out which team we are gonna play in the first round that has 1,200 more students than us as soon as possible

 

[SimmonsRatings]

Just did my final projection based on final RPI ratings


Brian's 2024 HS Football Playoff Bracket Projection

 

[Reynoldsrocks2]

Wow, really we are projected to see Dudley in the second round (if we survive the first round) it’s bad that Dudley is a 5 seed, that’s absurd!

 

[BD Warrior]

I was looking at the projections earlier this week and had Erwin lost we would have had to go to Dudley most likely. I was definitely not looking forward to that.

Dudley being a 5 is disrespectful.
