Football Playoff Qualifying Report - Week 8

10/06/2013, 10:00pm CDT
By Travis Wilson

The WIAA football playoff qualification process can be a bit confusing at times, and this report attempts to simplify where teams stand as of games played through Week 7. This report will be updated again after each week of the season. 

Teams that have a conference winning percentage better than .500 are guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. Teams that finish with a conference of exactly .500 are playoff eligible, but not guaranteed a spot. However, in most years only a few teams that finish .500 do not make the playoffs.
 
It is important to note that being "Playoff Eligible" does not mean the team is guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, just that they have met the minimum requirement to qualify. Also, teams not on these lists may still qualify for the playoffs, but will need to win multiple league games.
 
Through games played in Week 7, 123 teams have clinched playoff spots. 30 teams have become playoff-eligible by guaranteeing themselves at least a .500 league record and can clinch with one more win. 37 other teams can clinch a playoff spot with another conference win.

30 teams can become playoff eligible with one more conference win.
 
This Playoff Qualifying Report lists those teams that have clinched a playoff spot, those that have become playoff eligible, those that can clinch a spot with one more win, and those that can become playoff eligible with one more win.
 
The Playoff Qualifying Report will be updated each week for the rest of the regular season.
