PROJECTED Football Playoff Qualifying Field and Divisional Placements - Post Week 8

10/12/2014, 2:00pm CDT

By Travis Wilson

WARNING!! THESE ARE JUST PROJECTIONS!!

WisSports.net has projected every Week 9 game and come up with a PROJECTED postseason field.

Remember that these are just projections and are very likely to change. Even one game going differently could alter the landscape for multiple teams in terms of qualification and divisional placement.

The last two years have seen teams that finish under .500 in conference play get into the playoffs -- 4 in 2012 and 7 in 2013. However, based on our projections, that will not be the case in 2014.

We have all 223 teams that finish at or above .500 in conference play making the postseason, along with Independent team Washburn co-op, who gets in by finishing .500 overall (their Week 9 game against Phillips does not count towards playoff qualification) as an Independent.

With the 224 team field now determined, we can figure out the PROJECTED cutlines. My projections for the lowest enrollment number in each division are below along with past cutlines.
