Still in contention. With 4 games to play, Marshwood can finish as high as #1 and as low as #7: 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, Marshwood is the #2 seed

These are the games whose result moves Marshwood's seed the most (every other game held at the rating's pick). Each column shows who wins and where Marshwood lands.

niftiIQ power rating

12.3 points vs. an average Maine team (80% band 1.6 to 23.0) · rank #12 among 11-man teams · est. 24% chance of being the top-rated team in Class B South, est. 0% in all of 11-man

4 games of evidence; 20% of today's number is still the starting assumption (average B team, +5.7 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.
