Gridiron New Jersey, which compiles the United Power Rankings for the state's athletic governing body, released its final power rankings and playoff projections late Saturday night and on Sunday morning the NJSIAA finalized the 20 public school brackets for the state tournament.
In the final UPR calculated by Gridiron New Jersey, a total of 22 Shore Conference public schools qualify for the NJSIAA playoffs. In Non-Public A, Donovan Catholic and St. John Vianney qualify and in Non-Public B Red Bank Catholic is projected to be the top seed. The Non-Public groups will be seeded by a committee, however, so the UPR standing may not reflect with the playoff seeds.
The playoff matchups are as follows:
