Class D1 football: Week 8 roundup

NSAA has scored four Class D1 Week 8 games so far, and more results post overnight. Ranks here are NSAA wildcard projections from Oct. 16 at 11:07 a.m. CT. That update already counted Thursday's games and NSAA's 1-0 results but not Friday's scored games, and the ranks are not seeds. The 7 district champions and the 9 teams with the highest regular-season point average that did not finish as district champions = 16. Johnson-Brock (7-0) led D1 at that update, 1st of 40 by average (46.5714).
