After an abbreviated week nine schedule, the Shelton football team is tied for eighth in the Class LL rankings heading into Thursday's regular-season finale against Derby.

The race for the final playoff spot in Class LL is remarkably close as the Gaels are tied with Pomperaug at 940 points and just 10 points ahead of Ridgefield and Glastonbury.

Shelton has 130 points available against Derby (3-6) and an additional 70 bonus points on the line, but the Gaels would need wins by the likes of Hamden, Guilford and Wilbur Cross, who will be heavy underdogs in their Thanksgiving Day games.

Pomperaug can secure 130 points with a win over Oxford (3-6) and has an additional 30 bonus available. It also has a guaranteed 20 bonus points.

Glastonbury has 130 points available against Simsbury (3-6) and 10 guaranteed bonus points along with an additional 50 bonus points possible.

Ridgefield gets 150 points with a win over Danbury (5-4) along with 20 guaranteed. It also has a additional 30 bonus points on the table. Of the four teams, Ridgefield appears to have the most favorable schedule.

Shelton's best bet is to root for Greenwich (seventh) to lose to Staples in the FCIAC championship game. The Gaels also would get a huge boost if 3-6 McMahon could somehow upset 7-1 Norwalk (sixth in the Class LL rankings).
