Still in contention. With 5 games to play, Oxford Hills 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.

22.8 points vs. an average Maine team (80% band 10.4 to 35.3) · rank #4 among 11-man teams · est. 39% chance of being the top-rated team in Class A North, est. 7% in all of 11-man

3 games of evidence; 25% of today's number is still the starting assumption (average A team, -0.0 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.
