Fargo Davies could theoretically go 7-2 with a win over the unanimous #1 team in the state and not make the playoffs. Meanwhile, Minot can make the playoffs with a record of 2-7 (unless they upset Century). How does this make any sense at all?
While I agree the overall record does look good their conference record isn't good enough for the playoffs. What WOULD have made too much sense is to keep the teams even to ensure non conference games to start the season, a 4 team conference is too small of a size. OR had a statewide conference and every game counted.
The way it shook out this year is unfortunate, they had conference games to start the year when they weren't gelling and were also missing a few kids. But that just the way it is sometimes.
