Besides the obvious Batavia, what other teams are your locks to make the playoffs this year?

Mine are...

1) SCN was a lock until the QB went down. I still think they are playoff bound. Program is just too good and so is Nubin.

2) SCE has the easiest non-conf schedule so they only need to win 3 or 4 out of 6 conf games. They do what they do very well on offense so the defense just needs to step up.

3) WWS - besides have a kicker that is absolute money from within 50 yards, I think this team is ready to shake off the rust on the past few years and turn the corner back to glory. That Isiah Brown Dietzman is a man-child on defense.

Coming close but just missing the playoffs are WN, GBN and LP.

Geneva looks to be stuck in the mud in trying to get out of their recent down years and this conference is just too tough. They finish last.

That's 4 out of 8 teams. Am I smoking something?

Correction: SCE only needs to win 4 out of 7 conf games.

WWS does have great special teams the kicker obviously but their KR/ PR Cedric Rowzee was a state qualified sprinter last year and he will return a few kick and give the Tigers short fields all year.

The defense is good but they will need to find some offense and will need to get to 6 wins if they want to qualify for the playoffs. A 3-0 start would go along way to getting back to the playoffs.

How big is the QB loss for SCN? He wasnt one of the 16 returning starters, he split reps with his brother all summer, and had only played 3 Qtrs of football in the 2 years. Obviously terrible for the kid, but not sure it's as disruptive as some make it out to be considering those facts.

I think only 3 make the playoffs

* Batavia
* ST. Charles East
* ST. Charles North

I think WWS will be on the bubble and/or will need 6 wins. Their two non con games might only net them a playoff point or two (Metea and Lockport). If they scheduled a decent mid tier team for one of the two non cons (4-5/5-4 type team and beat them) then I would say they would have been the 4th Dukane playoff team.

LP might have an outside chance getting to 5 wins but they need to beat Metea tonite and both WWS and WN (I think they take the games from Geneva and GBN)
