With six high school football playoff divisions in the CIAC, the margin between reaching the postseason and being left out can be razor thin.
Sometimes, that margin starts with the schedule.
Over the years, we've seen very good teams draw difficult slates, finish around .500 and wind up on the outside of the CIAC playoffs. We've also seen teams benefit from more manageable schedules that provide a greater margin for error.
That doesn't mean a playoff berth is handed to anyone. It just means some roads are considerably tougher than others.
Not all schedules are created equally, so GametimeCT's Will Aldam and Pete Paguaga took a look at five teams that could be hurt by difficult schedules and five that should benefit from more favorable ones.
