4A West Girls Basketball Projection

Time of last update — Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 1:59 p.m.

Automatic bids

  • Note: Where there is a currently-unbreakable tie for an automatic bid, we are using RPI (which is how the NCHSAA breaks ties that cannot be done by head-to-head or “best win”). If projections are updated before conference play begins, we use RPI to project the conference champion.
  • Conference champs are in bold. Conference champs who would not be seeded as conference champs if the playoffs began today are in bold italics.

Central Piedmont champ: Davie
Central Piedmont 2nd place: West Forsyth
Greater Metro champ: Lake Norman
Greater Metro 2nd place: Hickory Ridge
Metro champ: Northwest Guilford
Metro 2nd place: Northern Guilford
*Mountain Athletic 1-seed: McDowell
*Northwestern 1-seed: Watauga
*Queen City Athletic 1-seed: Mallard Creek
Southwestern champ: Butler
Southwestern 2nd place: Charlotte Catholic
So. Meck champ: South Mecklenburg
So. Meck 2nd place: Myers Park
Southern Carolina champ: Marvin Ridge

*-Split conference with 3A schools — 1-seeds must have an overall win percentage of .500 or better OR finish in the top three in the conference standings to be seeded with the 1-seeds, or else be seeded with the 2s and wild-cards.

Last five in, first five out

  • Note: We will start to implement the “no leapfrogging” stipulation two weeks before official brackets come out. This rule prevents a team from making the playoffs over a team that it finished behind in the final conference standings. Once this process is implemented, there could be changes towards the bottom of the field.
