badgerstatesports.boards.net…
I have a full breakdown over on BadgerStateBoards, link attached, including an attempt to sort out the groupings/sectionals in all 7 divisions of what it could have looked like. In short, there would've been 16 different teams in the playoff field.
The 16 teams who did NOT make it under the current rules, but would have under the old rules are:
Eau Claire North (D1)
Fond du Lac (D1)
Janesville Craig (D1)
Madison La Follette (D1)
Oak Creek (D1)
Menomonie (D2)
Altoona (D4)

Waupun (D4)
Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau (D5)
Obama SCTE (D5)
Northland Pines (D5)
Auburndale (D6)
Oconto (D6)
Markesan (D6)
The 16 teams who did make it this year, but would NOT have under old rules:
Menomonee Falls (D2) 5 seed
Burlington (D2) 7 seed
Brookfield Central (D2) 7 seed
South Milwaukee (D3) 8 seed
Kettle Moraine Lutheran (D3) 6 seed
Catholic Memorial (D3) 5 seed

Brookwood (D7) 8 seed
Pecatonica/Argyle (D7) 7 seed
Elmwood/Plum City (D7) 7 seed
Osseo-Fairchild (D7) 7 seed
Waterloo (D7) 8 seed
There also would've been a number of teams to be in a different division:
Chippewa Falls D2 (D1)
Wausau West D2 (D1)
Sun Prairie East D2 (D1)
Milwaukee Reagan D2 (D1)
Janesville Parker D2 (D1)
La Crosse Central D3 (D2)

Ended up with 223/224 teams correct in the field (I had Colby instead of LWL).
217 teams correctly seeded (Colby/LWL, Reagan/KIT, MAS/Amery, SF/Fuller)
90/112 first round matchups correct (80%)
#wisfb
So a little worse than last year. Would really be nice to get my hands on the official mileage charts lol.
All the seeding/teams in the field discrepancies except for Reagan/KIT comes down to how the Catholic Central/Kenosha Christian Life Co-op games were treated.
Quick look at things, I believe I got 223/224? Only miss was having Colby instead of LWL. Definitely some forfeit/replacement game discrepancies.
And maybe a few seeds off? Reagan/Indian Trail is one I know of.
Handful of matchups flipped. #wisfb

Finally got a chance to take a peak of where I got it wrong regarding Living Word Lutheran/Colby.
#wisfb
It comes down to the newly formed Catholic Central/Kenosha Christian Life Co-op. This co-op is part of the Midwest Classic (same conference as LWL). The co-op was formed outside of normal timing for creating one, so how points against them were to be counted had to be figured out.
All throughout the season on LaVoy's site and on the WIAA's mid season official standings, all games against CC/KCL were automatically given a forfeit win for the opponent, for playoff purposes. This was technically a win against a ghost Catholic Central team, which is D7.
So, Catholic Central was treated as a winless team, and that's how I was treating that as well.
Somehow, the WIAA, decided to change this interpretation on the final night of the season.
Wins over CC/KCL were now treated as a D6 win, and as a win over a team with a 1-7 record. While it may not seem like much, that is the difference between Living Word Lutheran being in, compared to Colby being in.
And why a 1-7 record? CC/KCL went 2-7 on the field and it appears their win over Johnson Creek (or even the game itself) does not exist. If that game would've been accounted for, then every team who played CC/KCL, their PQS score would be slightly higher, which could change seeds, brackets, etc.

This is also the reason why Racine Lutheran got the number 1 overall seed over Darlington. I had Darlington over RaLu #wisfb

Haven't seen this float around yet. Please be sure to fill out this form for all complaints about why the WIAA and the entire state hates your favorite team #wisfb

New Berlin West, Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin Lutheran, and Catholic Memorial all in the same group seems fun. Pretty wide open for any of them to make it to level 4. #wisfb

Unfortunately I'll be unable to watch the bracket reveal live today, but still feel free to send me any thoughts, questions, etc., or tell me how much I get wrong in my projections.
Will have a ton of thoughts later on to share. Best of luck to all teams involved and to the broadcast to not botch too many pronunciations. I'm sure @TravisBOUND is already coaching everyone up on pronunciations. #wisfb
As a reminder, last year I went 223/224 teams correct in the playoff field. All 223 of those seeded correctly. And 96/112 1st round matchups correct, good for 86%. Fingers crossed for 100% on teams in the field. I'd be happy with 90% correct on 1st round matchups.

Random Lake to St. Croix Falls is about a 5hr 20min drive, one way, for anyone keeping track #wisfb

We were VERY close to having a situation on our hands in D1. It took Oshkosh West beating Appleton North, and Parker beating Middleton for it to not come to fruition.
If one of those upsets did not happen, then Hortonville would've been the last team in with a 3-6 record. Fondy would've been one of the first few teams out with a 4-5 record. Fondy beat Hortonville 23-0 tonight. #wisfb

Welcome to Division 1, West De Pere. Your reward for an undefeated season in one of the toughest conferences in the state, while playing up a division, the Kimberly Papermakers, who seem to have found some of their mojo the last few weeks #wisfb

If this is how it ends up being, I'm sure there won't be anyone complaining about Racine Case's path to level 3 😲

I really have zero idea if Franklin is going to be playing Bradford or Indian Trail. It's the exact same distance on maps. And Bradford and Indian Trail could be swapped on the bracket as well. We'll see tomorrow morning #wisfb
