The Virginia High School League rates its teams based on their win-loss
record and bonus points that are awarded based on the teams’ strength
of schedule.
Seven
games into the season, this is how the
Northern Region football teams would stand if the post-season
started today. Eight teams in each division advance to the playoffs,
with the No. 1 seed hosting the No. 8 seed, the No. 2 seed hosting the
No.7 seed, the No. 3 seed hosting the No. 6 seed and the No. 4 team
hosting the No. 5 team.
In the event of a tie, here’s how the VHSL handbook says it would be broken:
1.
The winner of any games between the two tied teams if only two teams
are involved. If more than two teams tied, and one of the tied teams
beat all other tied teams, that team shall advance.
2. The team with the better record against all common opponents.
3. The team with the highest winning percentage against rating-scale-recognized opponents.
4. The team with the higher average rating of all of each team’s opponents.
5. The regional chairman or his/her alternate if his/her school is
involved, shall draw by lot to determine the playoff representative.
