Bonagura – have to say, am glad that your predictions are not what you “thought”. Bet you didn’t think that AV would be where they are today! Looking forward to the last few games!!!

Mike- Yes, I’ll be updating D1 and D2 every week from here on out. The difference between a No. 2 and No. 3 could also be who they would draw in the quarterfinals. Until we get to a point where we can project the seeding a little better it’s hard to say what would be a better seed.

Renegades- I doubt they all qualify, but if they do it would be hard to turn away 5-5 College Park, but let in a bunch of other 5-5 teams.

I’m looking at it like this, the more postseason football, the better. Doesn’t hurt anyone by letting in more teams and it could actually help teams like DLS or Deer Valley by getting an extra tune up game against a lesser squad to stay sharp.

I actually think AV would love another shot at DLS. Of course they would prefer it in the finals but hey they pushed us on our own field. Same with MV. The question is how does MV finish and where will they be seeded. They could end up being 5 if they win out and Washington loses to Logan. More likely six seed though.

Kyle you have sixteen teams listed here including bubbles and longshots. Do you think there is a chance all of them would make it now with announcement made today about the change to the brackets? I don’t think they should allow more teams in but what do you think?

Mike,
Regarding the No. 2 and 3 seed difference for Berkeley, you answered your own question. It’s home field advantage. Playing in Berkeley is a big difference from going out to Antioch.

Kyle, like Jimmy’s Division 3, will the list be updated after each week?

I don’t think CP has any chance to win, because Concord beat them and even if they somehow ended tied for 1st, it goes to Concord. Also, it’s impossible to be tied for first for College Park.

They’re just down this year but next year they’ll probably do a little better. a 12 team field means lots of opporunities for anybody, just schedule some non league games against Division 1 opponents and beat them and you set yourself up for NCS. no way Berkeley gets anything but a top 4 seed. they Beat Pittsburg for crying out loud. They Beat Last Year’s Runner Up To De La Salle. It’s a tough match, but Amador Valley gets screwed if they are the #4 seed in the semis against DLS.

Berkeley doesn’t deserve the #4 but what’s the difference between #2 and #3 for them?

if DV goes 10-0 as well, then both those teams got to be slotted 2-3. Which one has the advantage? right now, common opponent pittsburg 3 pt win for DV, 2 pt win for B-High. Deer Valley beat two D-I playoff contenders besides Pitt, Berkeley beat lower division playoff contenders (el cerrito, pinole valley, alameda)

only home field is determined by that 2-3 order, but the rematch will be epic. berkeley lost AT HOME last year to a DV team that wasn’t as good as this years. If the Jackets get revenge this year, it’ll be easier to do at home.

like years past, you want to avoid the #4,#5 spots and #8,#9 lol. any team going to DLS, even an EBAL one twice, has no chance again. it’d be nice to see MV make a run at #6 if they were healthy, but they got too many injuries. if MV wins their first round game (not against SRV lol), and DV is #3, they might have a huge game themselves. MV at full strength might even beat Deer Valley. that’d piss off B-High cuz they wouldn’t have a chance to rematch DV. like Mack last year in Basketball, they wanted DLS and DLS lost to Newark so they couldn’t get their revenge. didn’t matter they had a tough time against MV in norcals and then got wooped by that socal team. were the two socal teams they played in 07 and 08 very different because in socal enrollment in div 1 can be 2600 to 4800. it looked like that 07 westchester team wasn’t so great but the 08 fairfax team was twice as good as mack
