Sac-Joaquin Section football playoff bracket projections

Only one more week to go before we actually know who is in and who is out of the Sac-Joaquin Section football playoffs.

But with nine weeks wrapped up, we could make a strong assumption on where teams will land.

These brackets are determined based off our computer score projections for the final week of the season.
