North Group 1

31 public schools. The top 16 eligible teams make the playoffs, seeded into two sections of eight. Cutoff Oct 24.

Through Week 3Week 3

Cedar Grove leads North Group 1, with Newton and Butler right behind. Only 18 of the 31 teams are eligible so far, so Belvidere, No. 19 in the power rank, would be in because three teams ranked above it still need a second win over an NJSIAA school.

The standings

Ranked by power rank (UPR): lower is better

NJSIAA head-to-head rule. After the power rank, a team that beat the team directly above it moves ahead of it. The line under the team names the game.
