Playoff picture · Class B North, top 6 qualify · all divisions →
Still in contention. With 4 games to play, Skowhegan 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, Skowhegan is the #4 seed

Skowhegan's own games are in bold; "other game" rows are matchups Skowhegan isn't in but that still move its seed (Crabtree counts opponents' records). Open the full simulator →

Simulated from the power ratings: how often Skowhegan wins the bracket across thousands of season runs, not a betting number. A projection, not advice; to win state a team must first win its region.

niftiIQ power rating
1.6 points vs. an average Maine team (80% band -9.9 to 13.1) · rank #25 among 11-man teams · est. 2% chance of being the top-rated team in Class B North, est. 0% in all of 11-man
4 games of evidence; 20% of today's number is still the starting assumption (average B team, -7.4 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 →
| Game | Result | Moved the rating |
|---|---|---|
| Fri 9/4 at Mt. Blue | W 26–21 | +1.2 |
| Fri 9/11 at Cony | L 35–42 | +2.6 |
| Fri 9/18 Lawrence | L 13–29 | -0.3 |
| Fri 9/25 Brunswick | W 19–17 | -2.6 |
"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.
