With three weeks left in the season, some teams have clinched their playoff spot, some have some work to do, and no one has been eliminated yet. Next, we look at the CWC-Large.
Playoff Qualified
Stratford (5-1, 4-0)
Wittenberg-Brinamwood (6-0, 4-0)
Weyauwega-Fremont (6-0, 4-0)
Playoff-eligible and can clinch a playoff spot with one more win.
None
Work to do
Amherst (3-3, 2-2 CWC-L) vs Weywauwega-Fremont, @Nekoosa, vs Manawa
Amherst has had a tough start to the season but is in a good place to get into the playoffs, they have a tough game against co-league-leading Weyauwega-Fremont before playing two teams with 1 conference win between them.
Nekoosa (2-4, 1-3 CWC-L) @Spencer/Columbus, vs Amherst, vs Shiocton
Nekoosa has a lot of work to do but with games against winless Spencer/Columbus and 1 win Shiocton. Nekoosa has a path to the playoffs but needs a win this week in Spencer to most likely set up a win-or-go-home game against Shiocton in Week 9.
Shiocton (1-5, 1-3 CWC-L) vs Manawa, @Wittenberg-Brinamwood, @Nekoosa
Shiocton is in the same boat as Nekoosa, and their path involves a needed win over Manawa on Friday to, barring an upset, set up the win-or-go-home game in Week 9.
Manawa (1-5, 0-4 CWC-L) @Shiocton, vs Spencer/Columbus, @Amherst
Manawa needs to win out, and with a game with fellow conference winless Spencer/Columbus in Week 8, the winner has a long shot to the playoffs, and the loser is eliminated. But first need to get a win at Shiocton to even make that an option.
Spencer/Columbus (0-6, 0-4 CWC-L) vs Nekoosa, @Manawa, @Stratford
Spencer/Columbus also needs to win out, but with the game at league co-leader Stratford waiting in Week 9, it is a very tough road. But it starts with a game vs Nekoosa this Friday.
We will update these each week until the brackets are released and we break them down on October 14th.
