Here are the Massey Matchup predictions for this weekend's playoff football games.

These are based on a mathematical formula calculated by Ken Massey, an American sports statistician well-known for his development of a methodology for ranking and rating sports teams in a variety of sports. His ratings have been a part of the Bowl Championship Series since its inception.

Each week, we'll update the projections to see how any upsets during the weekend affect the brackets.

Last week, we had 18 playoff games in all 11-man classes and the Massey projections were correct in 12 out of the 18.

This week, we have the projected scores for all brackets, including updated projections which take last week's games into account.

ED. NOTES: THIS IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY! ALSO, PREDICTIONS AND CALCULATIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR 8-MAN AND 6-MAN FOOTBALL TEAMS.

REMINDER: These are projections, NOT predictions and are not the thought of 9NEWS or your's truly. They are merely a guide to the week's action and - most importantly - something to have fun with. Enjoy!
