Class C2 bubble watch (projected): West Point-Beemer last eligible in; Brownell Talbot C2(INELIGIBLE) out of berths (after Thursday)
Projected Class C2 eligibility-filtered bubble after Thursday: Brownell Talbot / Cornerstone + Chase County C2(INELIGIBLE) per NSAA PDF; Lincoln Lutheran No. 15; West Point-Beemer last in; Norfolk Catholic first out. Scout 10:53 a.m. CT Friday, Oct. 23.
Eligibility: Omaha Brownell Talbot (C2(INELIGIBLE) — OPT C2; Omaha Brownell Talbot / Cornerstone Christian (classification PDF)); Chase County (C2(INELIGIBLE) — OPT C2 (classification PDF)). These schools cannot take a projected playoff place. Regular-season results still count for opponents' points.

Class C2's eligibility-filtered cut after Thursday: West Point-Beemer (5-4, 38.4444) is last in, and Norfolk Catholic (3-5, 37.75) is first out. 6 district champs + 10 wild cards. Points-order top 16 is a PROXY.
On raw points, Omaha Brownell Talbot sat No. 15 (4-4, 38.75) — but the school is C2(INELIGIBLE) with Cornerstone Christian per the classification PDF, so it does not consume a berth. Eligible field renumbered: Lincoln Lutheran No. 15, West Point-Beemer No. 16 last in, Norfolk Catholic first out. Chase County is likewise ineligible (outside the eligible band).
PROJECTED after Thursday — not official NSAA seeds. Data as of 10:53 a.m. CT Friday, Oct. 23 (NSAA points page 23 Oct 2026 10:51:20 am CDT). Friday opponents unplayed only — no invented win/loss averages.

Just outside

What to watch Friday
Fillmore Central visits Malcolm. Wilber-Clatonia visits Doniphan-Trumbull. Hershey visits Bridgeport. Lincoln Lutheran visits H&H. Norfolk Catholic hosts Plainview/Osmond.
6 district champs + 10 wild cards. Points-order top 16 is a PROXY. The points-order Nos. 12–18 are a wild-card watch list after eligibility filtering — not a promise that the No. 16 team on raw points is the No. 16 seed on Selection Day.
How the math works
Win values 50/47/44/41 and loss values 36/33/30/27 by division, averaged across counted games. Playing up adds 2/3/4. District champs are safe where the format uses them; wild cards fill the rest by points among eligible schools only.
