Playoff update

BaRELY awake at this point, but here is the playoff update for the night. There are 230 automatic qualifiers after Friday, leaving 26 possible additional qualifiers.
However, there are two more head-to-head games between 5-3 teams, so there will certainly be at least two more automatic qualifiers, reducing the total possible # of additional qualifiers.
So the answer to the question on all the Ubly fans' minds is, where will Mendon go. Based on my numbers and I'll double-check them in the morning, but at 24 additional qualifiers Mendon is the last team in Divison 8. We predicted in the last week that Mendon would likely be an eight and that Ubly would be a seven, which also appears to be the case.
There are four other 5-3 teams competing tomorrow with the chance to automatically qualify, possibly cutting the field of additional qualifiers as low as 20 or five per division. At that point, Ubly would be the smallest D7 school.
Deckerville also makes it in D8, as the fourth or fifth qualifier, depending on the result of the heads up game between Battle Creek St. Phillip and North Adams-Jerome.
We;ll have the complete list of qualifiers tomorrow night (won't be official, but based on our info, it will be correct).
