How qualifying works →Public groups only
Every non-public school that enters is in, and a committee seeds them, so there is nothing to clinch. Their projected seeds are on the Playoff Picture.
Non-public playoff picture →Only complete schedules
We never call a team whose schedule is missing games: a missing game could change everything. Those teams are called once their schedule is complete.
