Remember, eight teams make the playoffs in each class this year. Quarterfinals are the Tuesday after Thanksgiving at higher-ranked teams' fields, followed by semifinals on the Saturday of that week at neutral sites. Finals are the next Friday and Saturday at Rentschler Field. Thoughts on how the divisions break down?
