  "These projections are accurate as of the time stamp below in an 'if the playoffs started today' scenario except that we are using RPI to project conference winners until later in the year." In other words: Clayton had the second-highest RPI in the conference at the time and I'm not checking conference standings until the last week of the season when they become easier to calculate tiebreakers, etc.

  I was just curious as to why you had Clayton in 2nd place?

  1) Second sentence in each article states that we're not going to go into individual conference standings until the final week(s) -- it would quadruple how long it takes to do these
  2) ultimately it won't matter because both teams are projected in and you don't get any special seeding for being a 2nd place automatic bid vs being a wild-card

  Why is Clayton listed as 2nd place in conference? FV is currently in 2nd place alone.

  It's not *me* that has them that high -- the RPI has them that high and that's how playoffs are done. There's a formula, not a committee. And margin of victory does not matter in RPI.

  How in the world do you have West Cartert ahead of Seventy First when Pine Forest beat them and Seventy First beat Pune Forest by 16. And West Cartert struggled with Hoke County only winning by 5 and Seventy First beat Hoke County by 28 the first time and then by 45 the next. Please help me understand that. And you have West Cartert a 4 seed. Something is not right
