OFFICIAL WIAA Football Playoff Qualifying Field AND Regional Groupings

By Travis Wilson

UPDATE:  The playoff field is now official!!

The field matches up exactly with what we had projected. We are unsure what tiebreaker was used, but on the D5/6 cutline, Cuba City is in Division 5 while Shiocton is in Division 6.

For the first time in history we have teams that finished under .500 in conference make the field. In fact four of them did:  

Lake Mills
Superior
Pacelli
Edgerton

In looking at which teams under .500 to make the playoffs, the first tiebreaker is overall record. Lake Mills makes it based on their 5-3 overall mark. A total of 17 teams tied with 4-4 overall records, with just three spots available. The next tiebreaker is combined conference-only winning percentage of defeated conference opponents. Basically it rewards teams that got a win over one of the better teams in the conference. Edgerton had a combined winning percentage of .5238 and is in. Pacelli and Supeior were next at .2380 and fill the last two spots.
