Centralia 14 at South Shelby 48 Final

Centralia needs this for district points otherwise they could fall considerably in seeding. South Shelby I consider is the favorite in this matchup

Centralia has a pretty firm grip on the #3 seed. Probably wouldn't hurt too many feelings to slip to #4 and avoid BO until the final. Don't see them getting any higher than #3 win or lose.

I would not agree on this. It is not known yet who will get the #1 seed. It will be a photo finish with SOS of the opponents being the difference maker unless Moberly can't get past Jeff City. So if then got Blair Oaks #2 and Centralia #3 then you got a collision course in week 2 of districts. If they want to avoid BO until the district final then you better start hoping for Jeff City to beat Moberly next week. So if you fall to #4 and Moberly loses to Jeff City then you still have BO in week 2 of playoffs as well.

It really doesn't matter - neither team is going to present BO with many problems.

I would be shocked if Centralia can stay within 3 scores. And you are right, SS needs it bad to host Bowling Green in districts. I think that might be their only chance.
 
Pretty wild went defeated in 2020 to one game away from undefeated in the regular season for the first time in I am guessing, a long time. I don't think they when they won the titles or played in the finals were undefeated in the regular season.

Have you done the points on this one? I thought SS would be the 1 seed but wandered how close it was.
Here are the knowns:

South Shelby

8-0 = 20 points
Opponents record including Palmyra 40-24 = 16.25 points (still have previous 8 teams Week 9 result to factor in)
Point differential = 13 points (max)
Class Multiplier = 2.22 (repeating of course) including Palmyra

Total Points = 51.47 (current verified MSHSAA points through Week 8 = 52.29)

Bowling Green

8-0 = 20 points
Opponents record including North Callaway 30-34 = 14.69 points
Point differential = 13 points (max)
Class Multiplier = 3.33 (repeating of course) including North Callaway

Total Points = 51.02 (current verified MSHSAA points through Week 8 = 51.75)


Now, the easiest one to play with is margin of victory. Assuming Bowling Green wins by 13 or more, it only takes Palmyra keeping it within 8 to overcome the margin, Opponents record adjustments coming out equal. Problem is South Shelby already has a 1.56 point advantage there and should at minimum maintain that if not improve. Pretty much need a near if not outright upset by Palmyra to move Bowling Green ahead imo.

Thanks Cards.

I did the math on this yesterday:

This is the projected numbers based on the most probable outcomes. Based upon the numbers, Palmyra basicly needs come within a couple points of South Shelby or beat them.

The difference that separates these 2 schools is the nonconference opponents of South Shelby, they have great records even though they are Class 1. That is enough to put them over the top in this race.

Why is it when I add up the SOS numbers they don't equal the number at the bottom of the spreadsheet? On Bowling Green I add up all the numbers but it does come out to 1050.

You add the numbers then subtract that by 90 in that case. (10 points for every win, 20 points for every loss). which basicly per MSHSAA rules takes the games that school was apart of out of the equation.

So after week 9 the games in the SOS points are divided by 72 (81-9). After week 8 is it 8×8 = 64 -8 = 56 games?

Though you have to make sure there was that amount of games. AKA Blair Oaks played a Kansas school, that school has only played 7 games so far. So you have to add up all wins and losses from those fields and then subtract 8 and then divide by that number of games.
Well....it probably took me a lot longer.
took me 2.5 hours to get my spreadsheet i use to compute the numbers exactly correct.
