How we seed

Head-to-head first: a team sits above every team it beat. Then common opponents. Then Strength Index, the rating the NJSIAA publishes. A committee makes the real call.

How the seeding works →
A proposal, not the NJSIAA's method

A committee makes the real call. This is our proposal for it, and the Standings and team pages use the same projection.

Checked every week

Our Strength Index is checked against the official NJSIAA list each week.
