TSSAA Football: 2020 Division II

Basic Information

In most regions, each row represents a team, and each column a place. The content of the box indicates how the team can earn that place or any higher place. In particular, the symbol ▼ indicates that the team cannot get that place, while ☆ indicates a clinched place.

In a few regions, all places are either clinched or to be directly played for (that is, two teams play for a place, with the loser to finish one place lower). For these, all teams are in the second row, directly below their places.

Playoff Formats

Tiebreakers

  1. Head-to-head (applies only to a team beating all others in the tie)
  2. Overall wins.
  3. First-tier opponents (defined as Wins ≥ Losses, i. e. .500 or better) played.
  4. First-tier opponents defeated.
  5. Total opponents’ wins.
  6. Total opponents’ losses (fewer is better).
  7. Random selection.

One team at a time is selected; all others then begin again at the top.

By the same token, if (for example) two teams remain tied after a step that eliminates a third team, those two restart at step 1.
