I'm not going to go into the same detail as I did in Division I, but here are the playoff scenarios as I see them in Division III. Please remember these are unofficial, so they should be taken with a certain degree of skepticism:
Otter Valley is the #1 seed with a
win.
U-32 would be the #1 seed with a
win, an OV loss and an Oxbow win over Springfield.
Mill River and U-32 would tie for
the top seed if both win and Springfield beats Oxbow.
U-32 can finish no lower than
second with a win.
Otter Valley and U-32 can fall no
lower than third with a loss.
Woodstock could climb as high as
#2 with a win and losses for Mill River and U-32.
Best case for Windsor is #3 with a
win and a Mill River loss.
Worst case for Mill River is #4.
The winner of the
Woodstock-Windsor game is assured of home field and the loser will
be the fifth seed.
The winner of the
Oxbow-Springfield game will be the sixth seed. (They would tie if
Springfield, Fairfax, MSJ and North Country all win but Springfield
would presumably still get the higher spot on head-to-head).
Fairfax and Springfield would tie
for seventh if Fairfax wins, Springfield loses, and Poultney beats
MSJ. I think that would go to a coin toss as they didn't play and each
have 2-2 record vs. common opponents.
Spaulding could finished seventh
with a win over U-32 if Springfield loses, Fairfax wins and MSJ
beats Poultney. That would leave Fairfax and Springfield tied for
the last spot, and again, I believe that would go to a coin toss. I
think this is the only way Springfield can miss the playoffs.
Fairfax would be assured of a
playoff spot with a win if Spaulding loses or Poultney beats MSJ.
Spaulding would be assured of a
playoff spot with a win and a Fairfax loss.
Because it only played seven
games, Winooski would make the playoffs with a win and a Spaulding
loss.
Poultney and MSJ have been
eliminated.
