The bracket is what the playoffs would look like if the regular season ended today. District standings count district games only. Ties go to head-to-head (the record among the tied teams), then to RPI, the ranking used for playoff seeding (as of Saturday, October 17). Clinched, Out and District champion are certain: they hold whatever happens in the remaining district games. Home team listed first. This is not an official bracket.
* = placed by a tiebreak · Dist = district record · Ovr = overall · RPI = rank within the class.
