First things first. In doing these projections, I assumed that EVERY team in Region 12, currently ranked 6-13 will win this weekend. That may not happen, but for my purposes, it shows how the region could shake out even if the teams in front of Jackson win. To calculate all teams' second level points, I had to assume who would win all their opponents' games. In almost every case, I picked the team with the higher record, but it's impossible to know how these games will go. That's where possible variations to my projections could come into play, which is why these are simply projections. I do think they should be fairly accurate though.
Dayton CJ has already clinched a playoff spot. They will probably lose to Kettering Alter this weekend, but it won't matter. A win by CJ would secure the #1 seed for them. A loss and they'll be #2 or #3. With wins, Logan Elm, Cincinnati Wyoming, Lemon-Monroe, and Goshen are all likely in. Lemon-Monroe is the only one of those teams who does not control its own destiny, but I still think they are in. I'm not sure how the seeding will work for these teams because I didn't do all the calculations for them. I'm assuming they're in, which takes up 5 spots in the region, leaving 3 spots still up for grabs.
I'm going to break down the projections for the teams currently ranked 6-13 in the region, which are the teams still competing for the last three spots in the playoffs.
EDIT: Added in calculations for teams currenlty ranked #1-#5
#1 Dayton Chaminade-Julienne
Current L1 = 37.5 Current L2 = 152.5
Week 10 Opponent: Kettering Alter (9-0)
I'm projecting a loss for Dayton CJ in this game. They will gain other L2 points as follows though:

L2 points = 15.5 points
Total L1 = 40.0 Total L2 = 134.5 L2 Divisor = 100 Projected Computer Average = 17.4500
Now, what does all this mean. It means that if teams currently ranked 6-13 ALL win in Week 10, and my projections of Week 10 games are accurate, Washington Court House, New Richmond, and Jackson would get the last three playoff spots in this region.
Projected Computer Averages for Teams Currently #6-#13
Washington Court House - 18.4005 New Richmond - 17.8755 Jackson - 17.4500 Eaton - 17.0500 Shawnee - 16.5000 McNicholas - 16.15 Franklin - 15.9000 Hillsboro - 14.7075
***Wins by Indian Hill (#14) and Greenfield McClain (#15) would not give them enough points to make the playoffs unless teams ranked #6-13# lost.
In the above scenario, Jackson will be the #8 seed in Region 12. They could potentially be as high as the #6 seed, but that's only if New Richmond and Washington lose, or if those two teams' beaten opponents don't win the games that I projected them to win. There's also the possibility that things don't work out as I projected, which could leave Jackson on the outside looking in, even with a win over Zanesville. I honestly believe, however, that if Jackson wins, they should get in.
EDIT: After looking at possible results for Lemon-Monroe's opponents, it is very possible that Washington Court House, New Richmond, and Jackson could ALL pass them, even if Lemon-Monroe wins this week. Goshen has a tough opponent, and a loss by them, could also allow WCH, NR, and Jackson to pass them as well. A Goshen win could lift them all the way to the #1 seed. Eaton is a wildcard in the entire situation. Their beaten opponents could sneak them into the #8 spot or maybe even a little higher. It would appear that Jackson may be safe from Eaton knocking them out of the playoffs as long as Lemon-Monroe falls below them.
Here's how I see the entire region playing out, according to my projections.
With a Goshen win this week:
#1. Goshen - 21.5772 #2. Wyoming - 21.2500 #3. Dayton CJ - 20.8000 #4. Logan Elm - 20.7500 #5. Court House - 18.4005 #6. New Richmond - 17.8755 #7. Jackson - 17.4500 #8. Lemon-Monroe - 17.2858 #9. Eaton - 17.0500 #10. Shawnee - 16.5000 #11. McNicholas - 16.1500 #12. Franklin - 15.9000 #13. Hillsboro - 14.7075
***Indian Hill or McClain could rank higher than #14 or #15 with wins, but they still wouldnt make the playoffs in this scenario.
With a Goshen Loss this week:
#1. Wyoming - 21.2500 #2. Dayton CJ - 20.8000 #3. Logan Elm - 20.7500 #4. Court House - 18.4005 #5. New Richmond - 17.8755 #6. Jackson - 17.4500 #7. Lemon-Monroe - 17.2858 #8. Goshen - 17.2338 #9. Eaton - 17.0500 #10. Shawnee - 16.5000 #11. McNicholas - 16.1500 #12. Franklin - 15.9000 #13. Hillsboro - 14.7075
***Indian Hill or McClain could rank higher than #14 or #15 with wins, but they still wouldnt make the playoffs in this scenario.
Lastly, this was a huge waste of my time unless Jackson beats Zanesville.
So, let's go Ironmen! BEAT ZANESVILLE AND LIVE TO PLAY WEEK 11!!!
