Conference Playoff Outllook:

  • Phillips is in, with 3 wins already
  • Northwood/Solon Springs and Washburn each need a win, and they face-off in Week 8.
  • Northwood/Solon Springs  faces C/B/M in Week 9, which has a 1-2 record currently. With a loss in Week 8, their chances improve for a win in Week 9
  • Washburn has a taller task. They are on the road with Northwood/Solon Springs, and if they don’t win, they face a MUST win in Week 9 when they face conference-leading Phillips
  • Winter/Birchwood has to earn wins over Phillips and Mellen. Tough task in Week 8, but an upset of Phillips  would lead to a great chance in Week 9 and winless Mellen
  • Chequamegon/Butternut/Mercer  needs wins over winless Mellen and then in Week 9 against Northwood/Solon Springs, who could be playing for its own playoff life in Week 9
