Saturday, Oct. 24 · Week 8 · at Lodi, NJ
St. Mary wins about 74 times in 100.
What’s on the line
Each team’s biggest open goal, from this week’s run of the season: a playoff spot, then a home playoff game (top 8), then a No. 1 seed (top 2).
Non-public seeds come from a committee. Our formula follows its rule: head-to-head first, then common opponents, then Strength Index. Tonight's winner goes above the loser; the margin still moves both teams' Strength Index against everyone else.
If it ended today: St. Mary, No. 15 seed, at Red Bank Catholic. The week’s other results can move this too.
The margin
How the final score moves each team’s Strength Index. St. Mary is expected to win by 8.5, so it gains only by winning by more than that. Lodi gains with any win.
