A possible look at the playoff picture as the final week of the regular season is here.

The Sac-Joaquin Section volleyball playoffs will begin as early as October 23. Regular season play will conclude this week and the official brackets will be released on October 20 by 4 p.m.

Below are PROJECTIONS on how the playoff picture might look. We used the CIF SJS playoff format, MaxPreps ratings, and current league results to determine the projections.

We are unsure of all league tie-breakers and if any teams have selected to be placed in a higher division.

Teams are listed in order of seeds/ratings. The section will adjust so league opponents do not play in round 1.
