5A, 10/14

I made an attempt at a top 14 here, based on 4 criteria. 1 & 2 are the Colley and RPI ratings from www.oregonprepsports.net, which is nice enough to link to this blog. 3 is my own point system explained in other parts of this place, which strongly takes into account strength of schedule, and 4 is the latest AP poll.

Team - Colley rank - RPI - My rating - Poll - Total

1. Thurston 1-1-1-2 5
2. West Albany 5-2-2-1 10
3. Sherwood 4-4-4-3 15
4. Churchill 3-3-5-8 19
5. Century 8-5-6-4 23
6. Willamette 2-10-2-11 25
7. Mountain View 7-6-9-5 27
8. Hillsboro 6-8-7-7 28
9. South Albany 12-7-10-6 35
10. Glencoe 9-9-8-12 38
11. Hermiston 10-11-12-10 43
12. Ashland 11-12-11-9 43
13. Wilsonville 13-14-13-14 54
14. Crescent Valley 14-13-14-13 54

I really don't know that WA and Thurston are separable. I would rank them 1 and 1A, personally.

Based on current league standings (which are in some cases rather surprising) and the system of using 3 teams per league and 2 wild-cards for a 20-team playoff, the playoff teams would be, with their league records in parentheses:

PIL: Jefferson (2-0), Madison (2-0), Cleveland (0-1) NW Oregon: Hillsboro (3-1), Sherwood (3-0), Century (3-1) Mid-Willamette: Corvallis (4-0), South Albany (4-0), West Albany (4-0) Midwestern: Churchill (2-0), Springfield or Marshfield (1-1), Thurston (2-0) Southern Sky: Crater (1-1), Klamath Union (1-0), Ashland (1-0) IMC: Hermiston (3-1), Summit (3-0), and Mountain View (3-1).

The two wildcards would be Willamette and Glencoe.

The byes would go to all the first place teams (Jeff, Sherwood, W.A., Thurston, Ashland and Summit) plus Churchill and Century.

In this week: Glencoe.
Out this week: One of the two MWL ‘fields.
