If you have a constructive comment about what I've done this year, I'm more than open to suggestions. Leave them here or you can email me at cghs24 at yahoo.com and I guarantee a response...well, eventually. I do occasionally check that mailbox.

Results of the final oregonlive.com poll in parentheses.
The first thing I notice is that the OSAA bracket is VERY top-heavy. The #1,2,4,6,7,9,10 and the two teams tied for #11 are ALL on top. Not only that, but #2,4,6,and 7 are in the same QUARTER. Two of those teams won't even make it to the quarterfinals. The second-lowest ranked league #1 team has a bye, and the two highest-ranked teams in the bottom half will meet in the quarterfinals. Seems very unbalanced to me.
In my bracket, #2,4,6,7,9 and 10 are still on top, but #1 is no longer there. I'm a little unhappy about #4 playing #7 in the second round, but such is the way of the Pacific league. So, if the pollsters know their stuff, #2 will play #6 and #4 will play #10 in the quarterfinals. In the bottom half are #1,3,5,8,both 11s,12 and 14. The only part of my bracket I'm unhappy with is the second-round matchup between the #3 and #5 teams. My quarters would #3/5 vs #13, and #1 vs #8. Again, the bottom half of this bracket is a little imbalanced, but not horribly.

1A Proposed Playoff
Proposed 1A Playoff
I’ll start by placing the 6 league leaders in the first 6 spots in the bracket. They will go in point order into pools ABCDDC.
Pool A: Dufur
Pool B: Lowell
Pool C: Crane, Imbler
Pool D: Butte Falls, Perrydale
Now to put in the 6 league 2nd-place teams opposite the league champions. Since Pools A and D will be on the top half-bracket, and pools B and C on the bottom half-bracket, I’ll separate based on that. Each team will be placed in the first spot they can possibly be placed in pools BAABCD.
Pool A: Dufur, Joseph, Jordan Valley
Pool B: Lowell, St. Paul, Echo
Pool C: Crane, Imbler, Triad
Pool D: BF, Perrydale, Siletz Valley
Now the wild card teams go into the bracket. They should not be put in a pool with any other team from the same league, if at all possible. Let’s see where they could go: Gilchrist, A or B. Cove, B or D. Triangle Lake, A or C. Adrian, B or D. So that results in this:
Pool A: Dufur, Joseph, JV, Gilchrist
Pool B: Lowell, St. Paul, Echo, Adrian
Pool C: Crane, Imbler, Triad, Triangle Lake
Pool D: BF, Perrydale, Siletz, Cove
The bracket would be:
Gilchrist @ Dufur
Jordan Valley @ Joseph
Siletz Valley @ Perrydale
Cove @ Butte Falls
Triangle Lake @ Crane
Triad @ Imbler
Echo @ St. Paul
Adrian @ Lowell
Just for jollies, here’s a bracket with the top 16 points teams without any regard for league matchups.
Adrian @ Dufur
Jordan Valley @ St. Paul
Gilchrist @ Perrydale
Triad @ Butte Falls
Cove @ Crane
Echo @ Joseph
Siletz Valley @ Imbler
Triangle Lake @ Lowell

Proposed 2A Playoff
Proposed 2A Playoff
I’ll start by placing the 5 #1 seeds in the first 5 spots in the bracket. They will go in point order into pools ABCDD.
Pool A: Culver
Pool B: Heppner
Pool C: Knappa
Pool D: Lakeview, Oakridge
Now to put in the 5 league 2nd-place teams opposite the league champions. Since Pools A and D will be on the top half-bracket, and pools B and C on the bottom half-bracket, I’ll separate based on that. Each team will be placed in the first spot they can possibly be placed in pools CBAAB.
Pool A: Culver, Pilot Rock, Portland Christian
Pool B: Heppner, Santiam, Central Linn
Pool C: Knappa, Bonanza
Pool D: Lakeview, Oakridge
Now the third place teams go into the bracket, into pools CDD if possible. They should not be put in a pool with any other team from the same league. Once Elgin is placed, we know where Weston-McEwen will go, and hopefully we can fill in the other two wild-card teams.
Pool A: 1. Culver; 2. Pilot Rock; 3. Portland Christian; 4. Lost River.
Pool B: 1. Heppner; 2. Santiam; 3. Central Linn; 4. Nestucca.
Pool C: 1. Knappa; 2. Bonanza; 3. Elgin; 4. Oakland.
Pool D: 1. Lakeview; 2. Oakridge; 3. Scio; 4. Weston-McEwen.
Success!
