Soucie is live until about 3am. At this moment four 4 win teams needed to complete the playoff field.
Playoffs?!?!
- Thread starter 4Afan
- Start date
Wow. Soucie has urban prep bronzeville getting in as team 256. Marist out!
From what I can tell belleville east drops down to 7a too. They had been in 8a in all of the weekly outlook updates
Correction by Soucie - 2 hours ago - says Edwardsville now last team into 7A and Belleville into 8A
Marist now out
Marist now out
I think prairie ridge became the number 1 seed in the north. Hononegah lost to a team that didn’t make the playoffs in a closed conference.
Updated projection still has them at #2. Will be a coin toss with them and Belvidere North. Since they both play in closed conferences all the tie breakers will be the same.
No. The playoff opponents have different win totals based on Hononegah losing to a non playoff team. They won’t have the same playoff opponents wins.
That's not a thing when determining seeding. Wins, then playoff points, and then combined wins of defeated opponents. Since they were both 9-0 in closed conferences that number is the same as their playoff points. It will be a coin flip for #1 seed.
My fault. I thought for some reason there was a playoff opponents win total. As the very last criteria before the coin flip.
So is the below just to get in.
So is the below just to get in.
- Starting at the top of this sorted list, the teams are added to the playoff field until the 256-team limit is reached. In the event of a tie for the 256th position, the following tiebreakers are applied:
- Head-to-head competition (if the teams have met)
- Number of teams played that qualified for the playoffs
- Number of wins by teams played that qualified for the playoffs
- Points allowed in games against teams that qualified for the playoffs
- Coin flip

Question. Montini is a lock to make it to the finals, the second year in a row. Will they be SF’d next season?
All.... The Ihsa recently changed the success factor policy. Now it is based on what they call a rolling period over three seasons. 2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26. Making two state finals will bump you up a class. Ratsy
Word is there’s a power outage affecting the announcement. Cmon. This is torture for the Marist faithful.
I believe Marist is Team 257 losing on a tiebreaker to Urban Prep Bronzeville when it comes to total points allowed to playoff teams. I am hoping I am wrong.
Yes and then IHSA adjusted the outlook right before the website crashed and they had 194 teams qualified and 62 to go with Marist and Urban Prep Bronzeville being 62 and 63. Hope they made a mistake.
