This news drops us to 491 playoff eligible programs playing.
16 more will not be eligible to qualify because of CPS rules (that could grow to 20)
So a max of 475 teams are eligible which means just 91 teams won't be given a playoff bid. We are going to need a LOT of 2 win teams.

The 50th SIBCA All-Star Senior game is now final. The Red squad (Black Diamond, Cahokia, South 7, and SEC Conferences win 12-4 over the Blue (River to River, GEC, and Midland Trail). @RRSportsCentral @wmixsports @jctptalk @sisportswithCD @WSILNews @areasports
A guy who didn't even get an All-Conference selection is batting .615 (8-for-13, 3 2B, 6 BI) for the Pinckneyville Panthers this postseason and robbed the game-tying homer with a web gem last Saturday. #PlayoffHero

Updated ICA Polls. We will be doing weekly updates throughout the season until regionals. Remember this is not exact science and it is tough when weather does not cooperate. Some really good teams have some small sample size.
