What’s on the line: seeding in Non-Public B
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: Pope John, No. 13 seed, at Paul VI. The week’s other results can move this too.
The margin
How the final score moves each team’s Strength Index. Delbarton is expected to win by 19.1, so it gains only by winning by more than that. Pope John gains with any win.
