Playoff picture · Class A North, top 4 qualify · all divisions →

Still in contention. With 5 games to play, Windham 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, Windham is the #3 seed

niftiIQ power rating

9.4 points vs. an average Maine team (80% band -2.1 to 20.9) · rank #17 among 11-man teams · est. 3% chance of being the top-rated team in Class A North, est. 0% in all of 11-man

4 games of evidence; 20% of today's number is still the starting assumption (average A team, -3.6 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.
