Hey Everyone! I did this for 1/2A and was asked to do it for 3/4A. I told 1/2A I would update once a week, if this thread gets motion I will consider doing 3/4A once a week as well. Let the hypotheticals begin!
Things to remember: Top 48 teams in RPI are taken. Then based on those 48 schools longitude is where they decide to place them(east or west).

Thanks for putting this together. It’ll be interesting to see if Pisgah can maintain a seed around 11. We have Franklin, West Hend., and Tuscola the next 3-weeks so we should know exactly who we are through that stretch and if we are going to be able to play clean enough football to compete with better competition.

I know this model doesn't matter, but if a winless Washington can be a 17 seed, ahead of many teams that have won games, then this system is incredibly flawed.

They play Smokey, Franklin and Pisgah next 3 weeks. If they win or hold there own especially against Franklin they will be a problem.
Oh yeah I know nothing about them. I’m sure they are a good team, I just don’t think they would like that draw. However it won’t end up like that. Win or lose tomorrow Cramers RPI will go up. We have a 0.000 in the second category because we haven’t played anyone that has won a game yet.

You guys aren't gonna end up with a 17 seed obviously. But IF you did, I'd definitely take y'all outta the top part of that bracket over the others.

As for the lower part of the bracket it would be Burns & West Iredell playing.

But again this isn't anywhere close to what it'll look like start November

A lot of changes and anything can happen but I like Burns, Cramer, Hibriton, and West Iredell (alphabetical order) in the west
