Open/D1 Playoff Thoughts

[Playthegame]

Fact...

[OldSunsetFan]

Fountain Valley, Newport Harbor and Huntington Beach are not D2, D3, D4 or even D5.

First round begins 11/8? So Open division final is 11/22 or will there be a bye and game played on 11/29?

The 8 D1 teams will have a bye on 11/8 and the D1 championship will be held on 11/29.

Thanks for clarifying.

Looking like Servite Mission first round...awesome for two programs that are building to compete at the highest level, would love to see these two teams be a regular thing...can’t wait for the brackets...

[insidetrinity]

Servite mission Viejo should be a fun matchup if we do get it. Jserra centennial could be interesting, but I doubt jserra can score enough to keep up. In d2, I really have no idea who should be favorites.

I think D2 will be better then D1!

ABSOLUTELY NEED MV TO GET THE #3 SEED SO BOSCO CAN PLAY THEM IN THE 2ND ROUND.

There's a lot of hate and bad blood between the 2. I need to see it.

[FriarJoe]

MV is getting the 4. CC is locked in at 3.

[OCurbanlegend]

new power ranking poll has MV #3 and CC #4 now

[Kuppster]

yes, need to see MV at #3 to set up Bosco/MV in the semi's.

Is there a bye week next week (11/8) and the first round starts on 11/15?

[dntn31]

The CIFSS Week 9 Polls have been released. Centennial is still #3 and Mission Viejo is still #4 (no change from last week across the top 10 for D1/2).

[Omar Bongo]

Calpreps has CC rated at 69.3 and MV at 66.7.

CC's last game is against CA #190 Roosevelt while Mission plays #42 Tesoro.

If CC gets a relatively close win and MV blows out Tesoro, they could conceivably switch places...but I think CC wins in a blowout too

CalPreps ratings don't have any bearing on determining the D1 playoff seeds, other than serving as a reference tool for the coaches who vote in the weekly CIFSS poll. For Mission Viejo and Centennial to swap playoff seeds, assuming both teams win, they would have to swap places in the weekly CIFSS coaches poll (Centennial has been at #3 in every poll this year). If both teams win and their current places within the poll do not change, Centennial would have 12 points and the #3 seed (8 points from finishing 3rd in the CIFSS poll, 3 points from beating other D1 teams and 1 point for winning the Big VIII championship) and Mission Viejo would have 11 points and the #4 seed (7 points from finishing 4th in the CIF poll, 3 points from beating other D1 teams and 1 point for winning the South Coast championship).

I know that, it was just an observation.

But you'd have to admit that there has been an extremely high correlation between Calpreps' top 4 ranking order and the CIF's top 4 D1 playoff seeding order, at least the last few years.

DO IT FOR COACH TB!!

[Omar Bongo]

Assuming of course they get by their 1st round opponent. Calpreps projects them a 4 pt. favorite over Servite on a neutral field and by 7 over JSerra

[Kuppster]

Bosco and MD get to play at home for round 1? I thought the top 2 seeds usually have to travel?
