Class 4A Boys & Girls State Tournament Projections Week 8

Class 4A Boys & Girls State Tournament Projections Week 8

For my projections I am using the CHSAA Seeding and Selection Index. I am just doing a projection of the 32-team bracket. League Champions will be predicted to give out automatic berths into the state tournament. No teams automatically host and you must be ranked in the top 8 of the CHSAA Seeding Index.

Class 4A

A total of 32 teams will qualify for the single elimination bracket.
League champions earn an automatic berth in the playoffs as long as they win their league outright. Each league must have a minimum of 5 teams in it for an automatic berth.
Maxpreps and RPI will run through the regular season.
The remaining teams will be added (up to 32) based on the CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index (50% Maxpreps/50% RPI)
Seeding will be done by CHSAA Seeding & Selection Index. Seeds 1-24 are true seeded except to try to avoid league matchups in the first round only (teams may be moved up or down 1 spot). Teams 25-32 may then be moved based upon geography and league matchups.
Higher seeds will host (First round until the great 8).
Great 8 games, Final 4, and State Championship will be played at a neutral site selected by CHSAA.
