League play has come to an end for 3A, 2A and 1A boys basketball teams across the state, meanwhile 6A, 5A and 4A are approaching the final stages.
With that in mind, this will be the last bracketology for small school hoops with league tournaments going on this week to determine automatic bids. After that, the at-larges will be decided and we’ll have a bracket this weekend for the three small classifications.
For this exercise though, 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 will officially freeze Feb. 21 for 3A, 2A and 1A, followed by 6A on Feb. 27 and 5A and 4A on March 3.
Check out the current projections for all six classifications as of 11 a.m. on Feb. 17 down below!
