In a typical year, the playoff picture for Kansas high school football is becoming crystal clear by now, but this is not a typical year.
The Kansas High School Activities Association altered the seeding for 3A – 8M by total point differential to now average point differential earlier this year as well as a few other postseason selection alterations if necessary.
The high school football tie-breaker formula for KSHSAA for 2020 is as follows:
- District win percentage
- Head-to-head, if all teams tied played each other
- Average Point Differential
- Drawn by lot (the KSHSAA will draw)
With that scenario in mind, we have broken down the possible seeding scenarios for District’s 1 through 4, East districts, in Class 2A for the 2020 season.
Again, this is unprecedented and using the formula given by KSHSAA, we are making the best attempt to break down the possible seeding scenarios. This article also breaks down the scenarios with the current schedule as of 10/20/20
While we made every effort to double-check these, it is possible to still have an error. If you spot an error, please e-mail zlopez@easternkansassports.com.

Records were pulled from the KSHSAA website.
8M-I DISTRICT 1
Sedan (5-0) is the district champion with the forfeit from Marmaton Valley
Cedar Vale/Dexter (2-1) @ Oswego (3-1), West Elk (1-2) @ Yates Center (1-3)
IF CVD (3-1) def Oswego (3-2), West Elk (2-2) def Yates Center (1-4)
THEN #1 Sedan #2 Cedar Vale/Dexter #3 Oswego #4 West Elk
IF CVD (3-1) def Oswego (3-2), Yates Center (2-3) def West Elk (1-3)
THEN #1 Sedan #2 Cedar Vale #3 Oswego #4 Yates Center
IF Oswego (4-1) def CVD (2-2), West Elk (2-2) def Yates Center (1-4)
THEN #1 Sedan #2 Oswego #3 Cedar Vale/Dexter – West Elk
3 & 4 seeds are determined by one of two ways CVD & West Elk would have the same district win percentage and the two teams did not play each other. The next tiebreaker is to who has the greater average point differential. If, at the end of Week 8, the team’s average point differentials are the same, then 3 & 4 are determined by draw by KSHSAA.
IF Oswego (4-1) def CVD (2-2), Yates Center (2-3) def West Elk (1-3)
THEN #1 Sedan #2 Oswego #3 CVD #4 Yates Center
8M-I DISTRICT 2
Burden-Central (2-1) @ Madison (4-0), Chase County (3-1) v. Oxford (2-1)
All 4 above teams are guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. Seeding would breakdown like this:
IF Madison (5-0) def Burden-Central (2-2), Chase County (4-1) def Oxford (2-2)
THEN #1 Madison #2 Chase County #3 Burden-Central – Oxford
The #3 & #4 seed would be determined by average point differential since Burden-Central and Oxford did not play each other.
IF Madison (5-0) def Burden-Central (2-2), Oxford (3-1) def Chase County (3-2)
THEN #1 Madison #2 Oxford #3 Chase County #4 Burden-Central
IF Burden-Central (3-1) def Madison (4-1), Chase County (4-1) def Oxford (2-2)
THEN #1 Madison #2 Chase County #3 Burden-Central #4 Oxford
Madison and Chase County would have the same district win percentage and Madison holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over Chase County
IF Burden-Central (3-1) def Madison (4-1), Oxford (3-1) def Chase County (3-2)
THEN #1 Madison #2 Burden-Central – Oxford #4 Chase County
The #2 & #3 seed would be determined by average point differential since Burden-Central and Oxford did not play each other.
