| How many OAA teams do you see playing in week 10?
My prediction stands at 10 (maybe 11) OAA teams IN.
They are * Adams, * Clarkston, + Troy, + Lathrup, x Harrison, + Stoney, + Ferndale, x Mott. That leaves 2 (maybe 3) from x Orion/# West winner, # Royal Oak/# Oak Park winner. Maybe # Seaholm, # Central, # Andover or # Kettering. (* in; + need 1; x must have 2; # win out)
Recently
2006 = 10 OAA teams IN
2005 = 11 OAA teams IN
2004 = 11 OAA teams IN
Wasn't the "new and improved" format going to get as many as six additional playoff teams in?
So, what happened?

| 6 "additional" teams? Where did that info come from? OAA DI usually got 4 teams in and DII usually got 2 or maybe 3 in. It appears that the Red should get 3-4 teams in, and same with the White and Blue. Strong likelihood of 9 teams with an outside shot at 12. Seems pretty much par to me. I would tell you that there does seem to be much more parity among the divisions this year. Not sure if its realignment or the 2007 teams quality or both. Either way, it seems to have narrowed the gap between the haves and have nots.

| Under 10 is not good... the 6 additional number was thrown by at least 1 AD, supposedly more, during planning.
