Playoff Projections Boys Basketball Class 1A
We are nearly done with January and predictions are starting show a little more reality with District Tournament right around the corner. Teams qualify for Regionals by finishing in the Top 3 or in the Top 2 and I am using my League Predictions to pick my teams for this Playoff Projections. I then seed the Regionals using RPI. This is my fourth Playoff Projection this year and hoping these are helpful for teams and fans.
Class 1A
A regional tournament will be played in Class 1A.
- 8 district each qualifying two or three to three regionals.

In Region 2 and 3 the nine qualifying teams will be seeded by RPI, avoiding any previous district matchups. In Region 1, District 1 and 7 #1 will play the other district #2s. Region 1 receives 2 state qualifiers, Region 2 and 3 receive 3 state qualifiers.
