Ray/PL clinches the region with a win. But if they get upset by TGU. Then CM has a chance with a win over Parshall.

But I think R/PL will win the region, even though I picked TGU in a upset.

Right. But Central McLean has a bye this week and doesn't play Parshall until Week 9.

I just have a question regarding region 2, It has North Prairie as already clinching at least the #3 seed. If North Prairie and St John both win this weekend they would have identical records 5-2 region and 6-2 overall. They play the final week onOct 19th , so wouldn’t the winner of that game have the #3 seed?

Oops, you are right. The #3 seed wouldn't be determined until Week 9. Scenarios updated accordingly.
