District 14 - Region 4

[regaleagle]

Goliad lost to Edna last week 17-7, so Edna wants Goliad to win against Yoakum. That way Edna shares the district title with both Yoakum and Goliad, but wins the #1 playoff spot if Goliad does not beat Yoakum by 17. Edna is +6 with a 4 point loss to Yoakum and a 10 point win over Goliad. Yoakum is +4 with the win over Edna, but still has Goliad left to play. Goliad -10 with that loss to Edna, but must win against Yoakum this week by 17 to overcome Edna for the top playoff spot. If Goliad wins over Yoakum, they must win by a TD and extra point.....7 pts.....to gain the 2nd playoff spot. If Goliad beats Yoakum by any score.....Edna wins the top playoff spot. If Yoakum wins over Goliad, Yoakum wins the district title outright. If Goliad wins over Yoakum, but by less than 7 pts......then Edna takes the top spot, and Yoakum the #2 spot with the 3-way point differential tie-breaker rule in effect. Clear as a bell.....right?

Some sites are showing Goliad as the #2 seed in this district......I'm not sure that is correct. I thought with a 3-way tie for the District Title.....UIL rules call for a point differential to determine the seeding. If that is true.....then Yoakum should get the #2 seed, not Goliad. Yoakum ended up +1 in points between the other two opponents.....while Goliad ended up -7 points against Yoakum and Edna....even though they won the head to head against Yoakum. I'ma thinkin' those sites are wrong and Yoakum gets the #2 seed.....unless point differential only matters to determine which team gets the #1 seed, then reverts to head to head for the other two.
