This news drops us to 491 playoff eligible programs playing. 16 more will not be eligible to qualify because of CPS rules (that could grow to 20) So a max of 475 teams are eligible which means just 91 teams won't be given a playoff bid. We are going to need a LOT of 2 win teams.
NEWS: Clinton will cancel the rest of its varsity football season following this week’s game against Ridgeview. The rest of their schedule, in order, included Eureka, Tri-Valley, Shelbyville, Central A&M and El Paso-Gridley. Maroons join a handful of teams to cancel midseason.

Updated ICA Polls. We will be doing weekly updates throughout the season until regionals. Remember this is not exact science and it is tough when weather does not cooperate. Some really good teams have some small sample size.
