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").
  • Conference champs are in bold. Conference champs who would not be seeded as conference champs if the playoffs began today are in bold italics.

*Catawba Shores 1-seed: Mountain Island Charter
*Central Carolina 1-seed: South Davidson
Metro 8 champ: Queen's Grant
#Mountain Foothills 1-seed: Polk County
Northwest champ: Elkin
Northwest 2-seed: Mount Airy

Smoky Mountain champ: Highlands
Smoky Mountain 2-seed: Swain County
*Southern Piedmont 1-seed: Thomas Jefferson
*Western Highlands 1-seed: NCSSM: Morganton
*Yadkin Valley 1-seed: Union Academy

*-Split conference with 2A 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.

#-Polk County is the only 1A in a split conference with 2A schools and therefore must finish in the top two to be seeded with 1-seeds.
