Recruits Still Playing: Region 6A - Region 3

The top two teams from this region are set with the top seeded Auburn and second-seed Central Phenix City. The rest is enough to make your head spin. Plenty of recruits are still headed to the play-offs. See if their teams will advance...

1 - Auburn (9-0) will host Lee-Montgomery Region 4 #4 2 - Central Phenix City (8-1) will host Stanhope Elmore Region 4 #3

Three teams are vying for the third and fourth spots in the playoffs, Dothan, Enterprise and Opelika. All three have identical records of 6-3 with 4-3 region marks.

The real fly in the ointment is Opelika plays only nine games while the other two teams play 10 games which throws out a whole host of tiebreaks or they simply do not break the tie.

The first rule doesn't mention they have to play the same amount of games and doesn't mention region games as the definitive answer is (n) which states: The team whose defeated opponents have the most victories.

Now some of these will overlap and cause points for both teams because all three defeated Russell County, Northview and Smiths Station. We have included those games to try and become clearer, but the games in bold are the ones which will make the difference.
