Folsom, Manteca, Placer, Casa Roble, Sutter, Orestimba and Ripon Christian anticipated 1 seeds.

This is the final playoff PROJECTIONS before the full brackets are released on Sunday.

Each league will qualify one automatic entry based on the team who wins league. If a league has multiple league champions they will all qualify for the playoffs.

There will be 57 at-large bids. Each at-large bid will be based on their overall CalPreps (MaxPreps) rating. An important thing to remember, each division may vary with how many at-large bids it gets. For example, Division III could have 10 automatic entries and only two at-large bids.

First playoff games will be Friday, Nov. 4.



A team must win four games to qualify.
