I always like looking at these, and trying to imagine where I would/will be by Week 3, or even Week 5 or sometimes 6…..
We will skip our regular Saturday Morning Rewind format for this week, and hit The Playoff Picture and try and figure out which way this baby will be going…
Here is what we have this morning, as of last check from the NCHSAA website, and preliminary brackets were ready, but not so fast Freddy…
** Preliminary Brackets Under Review Due to Record Inaccuracies **

Most recent update from NCHSAA:Playoff Inquiry – Expires: 11:30 a.m. If teams have any questions regarding seating or eating, they better get them in before 11:30am…

The NCHSAA appears to unjustly seed Piedmont Triad schools in Guilford County in the football playoffs. Which teams did Weddington play and best that have better rankings and RPIs than Greensboro Grimsley? Many should petition and protest for more transparency from the selection committee.
This is getting a bit wild and crazy around here…Not sure how some of those Forsyth County Schools survived…
If Page and Grimsley both win their round 2 games, we will see a rematch in round 3. Maybe Page will pull a 1984 style upset?
