Football: Public playoff brackets with one week left in regular season

There’s one week left in the New Jersey high school football season for public-school teams, but the playoff picture is becoming clear.

Below is a complete look at what the public school brackets would look like if the season ended today. The brackets are determined by the United Power Rankings, a formula that combines power points and opponents’ strength index.

There are 32 teams that make the playoffs in each of the five groups. Those 32 are made up of the top 16 in each half of the state.

The top 16 teams in the North are “snaked” into either North 1 or North 2, while the top 16 teams in the South are “snaked” into either Central or South. So, teams currently listed in North 1 may end up in North 2 when the official brackets come out, and vice versa. Same with teams currently listed in Central or South.

The season concludes with the North champions playing Central/South champions in five state championship games in the days following Thanksgiving.
