2A West won’t go to a three-team playoff. Greybull gets No. 4 seed via its victory against Lyman (common opponent tiebreaker).
By my calcs, then, Thermopolis and Pinedale are both out then. Right?

Yes, I believe so. All I do know is that this stuff makes my head hurt.
I will say that I don’t see Greybull defeating Lyman, for what it’s worth. So Kemmerer is in with a win OR a Greybull loss. That last second TD against Thermopolis turns out to be pretty big now
In spirit of transparency — 2A West updates now reflect the loophole Clint brought up. 2A East updates reflect what would happen in case of the four-way tie — it wouldn’t be a quadrangular playoff like I thought originally. Seeds would actually be set in case of a four-way tie, strangely enough…
