What if the LHSAA football playoffs started today?

by Hunter Bower, GeauxPreps.com Founder & CEO

Each year, GeauxPreps.com provides extensive playoff projections for all of the LHSAA’s seeded playoffs. This fall, we are providing those projections for the football playoffs in all divisions.

Projections are dependent on the power rating system, a computer-driven formula used to determine the seeding for each bracket based on wins, play-up points and opponents victories as well as other elements.

These projections are not official and can change when the official brackets are released by the LHSAA following the final regular season contest. However, these projections are accurate as of the time stamp below.

Pairings are listed in bracket order.
