*The Division and Seeding selection process divides the top 56 MaxPreps** state-ranked local teams into 8 top teams, then 4 equal 12 team groups. The top 8 teams become the Open Division, the next 12 are Division  I (D-I), the next 12 become Division II, and so on.

In the D-I/II/III/IV brackets, the top 4 seeds get a first round bye and teams 5-12  are paired into a standard structure, similar to the national collegiate tackle football 12-team format.

**The entirely computer generated and proprietary MaxPreps.com ranking algorithm, based solely on wins and losses, plus the opponents strength of schedule, is described here.
