The Crystal Ball: 6A Playoff Look/ Predictions Headed Into Week 5

Greetings all.

In this series of articles, I am going to look at the current standings in each district and give you my thoughts on the way each district may play out including the Division 1/ Division 2 split.

I’m going to go through each UIL classification and when I reach the end of 1A, I’ll start over. Can’t guarantee how long it will take to do each classification but I will keep going until I finish and then start over again with 6A and keep cycling through until we reach the playoffs.

Some districts have started district, but most have not. If a district has started district play, each teams district record is included.

I will list each team that I think has a chance of making the playoffs. So I will be listing 5, 6 or even 7 teams in such district. The order listed reflects my current opinion of the teams chances of making the playoffs.
