Projected State Playoffs

Who would make each class's 32-team bracket if the season ended today, seeded the way GHSA seeds it for 2026: by Post Season Ranking, PSR = 35% win % + 35% opponents' win % + 30% opponents' opponents' win %. Each region's current standings leader is projected as its champion and is guaranteed a top-16 seed and a home first-round game (shown in bold). Built from the final regular-season games imported so far, so it will change as the season finishes. Private 4A–2A schools play in GHSA's separate private bracket and aren't included.
