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.

Non-Public A standings →
Checked every week

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