Jackson vs Athens 2020 Playoffs

[Jackson Football]

Possible round 1 playoff matchup ?

Possible but I'm doubting it, I think Jackson gets moved up higher than the points show once coaches weigh in on it.

Doubtful but would be cool

We would have to win the first game since Jackson will have a bye week

IF Athens can beat N-Y this week they will play one of the bottom feeders in the region in rd. 1 in a winnable game in this year of chaos. IF they lose this week they will probably play Hartley, Tri-Valley or Zanesville which won't go well for the Bullpups.

I doubt it. Athens would be 3-2 without any big win. There are 23 opt-ins in the region, so to get a bottom-feeder they'd need to be seeded into the top 7 to get a bye, and even then could draw the #10-seed after they win their game. Granted, they could structure it differently, and who knows how they'll seed.

I count around 10 teams immediately that would almost for certain be a lock to be seeded higher than Athens even if they win.

Attached is a sample 23-team tournament bracket. Not for sure that's how it'll look, but an idea.

That's what I was saying above (Hartley, Tri-Valley and Zanesville aren't top 7 now and have tough games this week. IF Athens loses they will drop further and will play one of these teams in rd. 1. IF they win they would draw a Buckeye Valley, M-T, Centennial etc. which could be winnable)

Jackson could get Hartley round one

Jackson could get Hartley round one

Yikes , that would be a huge step up in class

It sucks with no points since all three Catholic schools are in

I remember Desales missed the playoffs one year and beat the state champs
