Quick Note: Region 2 and Region 3 are seeded by RPI.
Most District still have a lot to be decided most have eliminated teams but still some big questions remain. I did my predictions for each District and am sticking to those predictions unless some upset happened then I will adjust those predictions.
Class 1A Boys Basketball Playoff Projections
Eight Districts, each qualifying two or three (as noted) to three regionals
The #1 and #2 seeds from District 1 and 8 will be paired in 2017-2018 while the #1, #2, and #3 seeds from District 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 will advance to a regional site. Region 2 (4, 5, 7) and Region 3 (2, 3, 6), the nine qualifying teams will be seeded by RPI, avoiding any previous district match-ups. In Region 1 District 1 and 8 #1s will play the other District #2s. Region 1 receives 2 state qualifiers, Region 2 and 3 receive three state qualifiers each.
