Versailles football team faces long odds in OHSAA playoff chase

0

COLUMBUS – With just one week left in the regular season Versailles has a slight chance at qualifying for the Ohio High School Athletic Association football playoffs.

Versailles dropped again this week in the Division V Region 20 computer points, falling from No. 11 in last week’s ratings release to No. 12 this week. The top eight teams in each region make the playoffs so as it stands now Versailles would be out of the playoffs.

Ansonia, Arcanum, Bradford, Greenville, Mississinawa Valley and Tri-Village are not ranked in the top 12 of their regions. Thus they are out of playoff position and were not included in this week’s OHSAA computer ratings release.

According to unofficial projections on joeeitel.com, Ansonia, Arcanum, Bradford, Greenville, Mississinawa Valley and Tri-Village all have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

Versailles is still in contention for a playoff spot, according to joeeitel.com, but the Tigers need lots of help to move into the top eight of their region.

According to the unofficial projections, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, Coldwater, Carlisle and Milton-Union already have clinched spots in the playoffs in Region 20, leaving just four spots remaining. Versailles is one of 10 teams still in contention for those four spots along with Aiken, Greeneview, Brookville, North Union, Anna, Madeira, Blanchester, Bethel-Tate and Preble Shawnee.

According to joeeitel.com, Aiken, Greeneview, Brookville, North Union, Anna, Madeira and Blanchester all would remain ahead of Versailles in the rankings simply by winning this week. Of those seven teams, four of them – Aiken, Greeneview, North Union and Blanchester – will play teams with losing records.

The OHSAA computer points will be used to determine which football teams make the postseason following the conclusion of the regular season. Log on to the football page at OHSAA.org for an explanation of how the ratings are calculated.

The complete report showing all teams in every region is posted at http://www.ohsaa.org/Portals/0/Sports/Football/2016/2016Week9Rankings.pdf.
