Saturday, Oct. 24 · Week 8 · at Montvale, NJ
Bergen Catholic wins about 60 times in 100.
What’s on the line: seeding in Non-Public A
Non-public seeds come from a committee. Our formula follows its rule: head-to-head first, then common opponents, then Strength Index. Tonight's winner goes above the loser; the margin still moves both teams' Strength Index against everyone else.
If it ended today: Bergen Catholic, No. 2 seed, hosts Delbarton; St. Joseph-Montvale, No. 6 seed, at Don Bosco Prep. The week’s other results can move this too.
