Still in contention. With 4 games to play, Lawrence can finish as high as #1 and as low as #8: the playoff cut runs right through this team.

"Clinched" and "eliminated" are exact: they hold for every possible combination of remaining results. Seeds use the same Crabtree method as the standings. Nothing here is a prediction.

Games that matter most · if the higher-rated team wins every game, Lawrence is the #1 seed

niftiIQ power rating

19.4 points vs. an average Maine team (80% band 8.0 to 30.7) · rank #6 among 11-man teams · est. 50% chance of being the top-rated team in Class B North, est. 4% in all of 11-man

4 games of evidence; 20% of today's number is still the starting assumption (average B team, -0.9 from where the program finished the last two seasons). A band that touches 0 means the data can't yet separate this team from average. How the rating works →

"Moved the rating" = today's rating minus what it would be if that game had never happened (everything else re-solved). A big number on one game is worth a second look at the score.
