I need your best guesses as to what will happen with the polls tomorrow? Everyone has been upset in some way it seems, except Watterson. Does UA make it into the top 10 just for beating Jerome? Will Darby finally fall out after several losses and ties to unranked teams? Who else stands a chance of breaking in?

I'll give it a shot:
1) Watterson 9-0-1 with only blemish a tie to Darby back when Darby was playing well
2) Pick North 7-1-1 with only loss to Watterson; Tie Gahanna
3) Coffman 6-2-2 with losses to Jerome and yesterday, Canal. Ties with Liberty and gahanna. I hear they are down their best players to injuries
4) Jerome 8-3-0 Losses to 2 state ranked teams plus a weird loss to UA; but still clearly a team with some talent
5) Olentangy 7-2-2 Losses to Watterson and Davidson and a weird Delaware tie
6) Gahanna 5-1-4 Only loss is to Canal but 4 ties to admittedly fair teams; I just don't feel they are as strong as they should be with their talent
7) New Albany 6-2-3
8) Davidson 6-3-2
And that's where I quit. Can't guess the last 2. Potentially: UA, Orange, Bradley or Canal. But I think Darby and Liberty have to fall out. Canal and UA seem to be the biggest likelihood for the last 2 spots.

Who even knows anymore. I think this will be a very interesting tournament draw here.
I'm going to take a swing at breaking teams into rough tiers, though within tiers they are only roughly sorted:
1st tier: Pick North - I still think they're the most dangerous team when they are healthy and "on" Jerome - 2nd most dangerous team and have been a nice roll here since a few early bad (by score but not by quality of opponent) losses, best wins are Coffman and NA Watterson - only team to beat Pick North puts them here, although I'm still not convinced. A good win against Olentangy, rest are so-so. A tie with Darby looked better a few weeks ago but now looks like a potential blemish. Coffman - I am border on this team 1st/2nd tier. Solid wins over Davidson and Orange. Draws with Liberty early and Gahanna recently. Losses to Jerome 1-0 and Canal 2-1. Gahanna - They are doing Gahanna things, 5 shutouts in last 7 games, tied PN and Coffman and NA, but biggest wins are UA and Westerville Central. Only loss to Canal.
2nd tier: Canal - Wins over Coffman and Gahanna, but loss to Westerville South is an ugly mark. Played PN close at 2-1. 3-3 tie to Davidson after being up 3-0. Results seem inconsistent? Davidson - Good wins over Olentangy and Orange, no bad losses (Darby Coffman and PN), tied Liberty and Canal. Seem to be up from last year. New Albany - Solid win over Big Walnut 3-0, beat Unioto 5-0 who tied Gahanna. Losses to Orange and Jerome are not the worst. Orange - Have turned it on as of late, with wins over Liberty, NA, and Westerville Central. Tough losses to Watterson, Davidson, and Coffman, and a tie against Big Nut. Lack a win over the top tier though.
3rd tier: Darby - started hot, have cooled off in a big way, still have a lot of talent and athleticism on this team Upper Arlington - beat Jerome but have got worked by everyone else ranked above. Ok wins over Thomas Worthington and Westerville North. Liberty - results aren't great but they always have talent, and had a mediocre record last year heading into the tournament where they ended up the last central district team standing.
Could make a splash: Marysville - played PN tight at 1-0, 1-0 loss to Watterson. Only bad loss by score is Granville 5-0, but Granville has been working everybody. Beat Westerville North 2-1. Bradley - very quietly 5-3-2, feel like they've been under the radar, but have 5 wins in 7 games and a draw with the state champs Loveland. Losses are all respectable to Davidson, Liberty and Beavercreek. I wonder if they will end up underseeded. I wouldn't want to face them early in the tournament. All 3 westervilles - records aren't great but each team has talent. Westerville South has beat Canal and Liberty. Central is 6-4-0 having lost to New Albany, Gahanna, Orange by multiple goals and to Westerville North 1-0. North is 2-7-1 but has been competitive in every game they've been in.
This took longer to type than I had planned! And I'm sure I still missed some teams.

I forgot Olentangy. They should be in top of second tier. I knew I forgot someone!
