Every day this week, we'll keep track of where every team stands as we creep closer to the playoffs. As we get closer to the end of the week, we'll add in scenarios for each division. *Note: With the NHIAA’s 70-percent rule in place for the postseason, Division I will have nine playoff teams, Division II will have 12 teams and Division III will have 11 teams in the playoffs. Per By-Law Article IV, Sect. 4-C, teams that petitioned down a division for this two-year cycle are eligible for the postseason. Standings based off results reported to NHIAA.org and other media outlets. These are not official.* ### Division I **Team (record, rating, last week)** 1. Bishop Guertin (12-2, 3.4286, 1st) 2.
