Playoff Picture · Through Week 6 · Non-public· 2025 season
Non-Public B
22 schools, statewide. A committee seeds non-public groups, so there are no playoff odds here: this is how we would seed it today, with our proposed formula.
First round, higher seed hosts. The number is the Strength Index. Assumes a 16-team field; 6 schools fall outside it today. Schools that choose not to enter come out and everyone below moves up.

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.
