Class D2 football: Week 8 roundup

NSAA has scored three Class D2 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 6 district champions and the 10 teams with the highest regular-season point average that did not finish as district champions = 16.
