4-5’s in
- Thread starter LakeCtyNewt
- Start date
There were 73 teams 4-4 heading into the weekend. 35 spots open after 5 win teams. Not enough of those 4-4’s won. Moline, Plainfield Central, Nazareth, Deerfield Grayslake North Bartlett to name a few.
I expected 1-2 to get in but didn’t expect this many. A lot of parity in HS football this year after you get past the top 3-4 teams.

Except for that lucky 9-0 team that gets Naz
But there were many that lost to teams with losing records. As of 2am Soucie had six 4-5 teams in the field.
I'd say that's quite a few considering they had the better record and were fighting for their playoff lives. How many 4-4's beat teams with better records?
I agree, 7 seems like a lot. No idea what a typical week 9 is in the past
There were only two 4-4 that beat teams with winning records. Both beat 5-3 teams
I understand that for who makes the 256. I was thinking more in terms of it being a bad night for the people that don’t want 4-5 teams in the playoffs
Watching Steve Soucie last night, I believe he had 7, 4-5 teams getting in, including Naz and Sterling in 5A
100% according to him. He has six 4-5 teams in so if that holds true Naz wouldn't even be close to the cut line.
Just saw a bracket that is circulating that has naz as a 15 seed vs Prarie Ridge.
Based on latest rankings current 4-5 Rankings are
Naz -- 56
GBS -- 52
Sterling 50
Plainfield North 49
Marist 47
Quincy ND 47
Peru 46
Bureau Valley 46
Stockton 45
Lots at 44 including Benet

Soucie has Lasalle Peru as the last team in and Quincy ND as the first team out. QND is quirky because they had 5 out of state opponents.
Looking at the current IHSA site and it looks like anyone with 4 wins will qualify. Weird. Unless there's a glitch on the Playoff Hopefulls page. That's some mediocrity on full display.
Yeah, that's not right. It's not taking into account the 4-5 teams that will get in. Those are just the teams that didn't play last night.
I’m not reading it the same way you are, apparently. It doesn’t seem correct at any rate.
The page lists all qualifiers and then the 5-4 teams and below who have yet to be determined. Even 0-3 Sparta is on the list. It states 65 spots remain while the 65th team on the list is 3-4 Carver. Five 5-3 teams and nine 4-4's. Either way, that's a lot of mediocrity yet to be included.
I'm not putting any stock into what's on the IHSA page at this point. Unless those 4-4 teams win they're not getting in, playoff points are way too low.
But any of the 8A 4-5 teams could give Barrington everything they would ever want.
From what I interpet the way it is done is that any 4&5 teams that have the same amount of power points then they go to the first tye breaker which is the most wins by the defeated oponents! Of the 46 point teams, Peru has 14, MCC has12, Bureau Valley has 10. So if they take 7 4&5 teams, that would put the cutoff between Peru "in" and MCC "out". I hope I'm wrong!
