4A, 10/14

I made an attempt at a top 16 here, based on 4 criteria and the teams receiving votes in the AP poll. 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. Astoria 2-1-1-3 7
2. Gladstone 5-2-1-2 10
3. Central 4-3-4-1 12

Based on current league standings (and the standings are starting to make sense) and the system of using 2 teams per league and 6 wild-cards for a 20-team playoff, the playoff teams would be, with their league records in parentheses:

Cowapa: Astoria (2-0), Banks (1-1) Capital: Estacada (3-0), Gladstone (2-0) Far West: North Bend (2-0), Douglas (2-0) Valco: Central (2-0), Philomath (2-0) Sky-Em: Junction City (3-1), Marist (3-0) Skyline: N. Valley (1-0), Hidden Valley (2-0) GOL: Baker (0-0) and Ontario (0-0) (speculation here).

The six wildcard teams would be LaSalle, Tillamook, Elmira, LaPine, Stayton and Henley.

In this week: Douglas, LaPine, Stayton
Out this week: South Umpqua, Newport, Cottage Grove

The first round byes would go to the first place teams (Astoria, Gladstone, NB, Central, Marist, HV and Baker) and Banks.
