  • Games against out-of-state teams have almost NO effect on the ratings.
  • The Russell County tie with Northside (GA) will not show up in the standings -- otherwise every region and class would need a column for ties.
  • Thanks again to Corey G., who provided the playoff bracket template for the site many years ago.
