League play has begun for girls basketball teams across the state, so we continue our weekly edition of bracketology to see who’s in the tournament fields as of today.
We went through the OSAA Playoff Qualifications page to get the rules and laid out which teams are currently in position for automatic bids, at-larges and the teams who are close to those at-large bids.
League standings were determined by league winning percentage. Ties were broken first by any available head-to-head matchups, then by OSAA rank if head-to-head didn’t solve the tie.
Rankings officially freeze on Feb. 21 for 3A, 2A and 1A, followed by 6A on Feb. 28 and 5A and 4A on March 4.
Check out the current projections for all six classifications as of 11 a.m. on Jan. 27 down below!
