Standings · Through Week 4 · Every final through the week, by the NJSIAA formula
South Group 5
27 public schools. The top 16 eligible teams make the playoffs, seeded into two sections of eight. Cutoff Oct 24.
Washington Twp. leads South Group 5, with Southern and Old Bridge right behind. Only 19 of the 27 teams are eligible so far, so South Brunswick, No. 18 in the power rank, would be in because two teams ranked above it still need a second win over an NJSIAA school.
The standings
Ranked by power rank (UPR): lower is betterNJSIAA 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.
Today vs. Friday. “If it ended today” counts the games played so far. Every game counts in a team’s average, so even a win over a weak team can lower it. The odds play out every game left.
