The following is now an OFFICIAL football playoff field based on final scores for Week 9 games.
12:01 am Update: The WIAA has released its Playoff Field and as it has every year for more than a decade, it matches up 100% with what we have posted. See the WIAA list here.
1:37 am Update: The WIAA has added the Regional Groupings as seen below.
The following is an UNOFFICIAL football playoff field based on scores for Week 9 games. While we have been 100% accurate in compiling this information for 10 years, it is not OFFICIAL until released by the WIAA, which is expected some time after midnight.
This year was an easy one once all the results were in, as there were no tiebreakers to figure. Exactly 224 teams finished with conference records at or above .500. So no tiebreakers needed, but it is heartbreak for some teams that finished 4-5 in league play and thought they'd be able to sneak in.
* - Of note, Fox Valley Lutheran and Xavier tied on the D3/4 cutline, but the tiebreaker of actual Third Friday of September 2016 enrollment has FVL (584) go up to D3, Xavier (540) down to D4.
