## Against Preseason Expectation

Where last season said a team would be, where this season's results alone put them, and how much of the preseason number the published rating still carries. A team whose results contradict its preseason rating sheds it as the games accumulate — fully protected at one game, essentially free of it by six — so this column is the model saying how much it still believes last year.

## Playoff Picture

*The RPI bubble: the teams whose chance of making the playoffs is between 15% and 85%, with the last teams safely in and the first teams out on either edge, listed by that chance. In is 85% or better, Out below 15%. The full projected bracket, every round with projected scores, is on its own page:* [2026 playoff projections](https://carolinavarsity.com/reports/football/2026/playoffs_2026_week07.html)

*24 of 32 8A teams make the field. Teams are listed by their chance of finishing in it, from the season simulation, which plays out the games each team has left; the dashed line is where the field is projected to be cut, and the bracket is drawn from the teams above it. RPI today and Rank today are the official NCHSAA table as it stands: the top 24 would make it if the season ended now. Projected RPI is the average final RPI across the simulated seasons. The order goes by playoff chance, which also counts how far a team's finish could swing either way, so two teams close in projected RPI can sit a place or two apart.*

*Projected 8A champion: Hough, 48% of simulated seasons*

## Winningest Coaches

*North Carolina head-coaching records: every game in our archive for the seasons a coach is credited with, from HSFHA, the NCHSAA, NCHSFootball and MaxPreps, with a published stint filling a season no source names. Records outside North Carolina are HSFHA's. Still being completed: for 1980-1999 many seasons have no coach on record anywhere yet.*

## Season Projection

120 simulated seasons. Results through week 6 are taken as they stand; every week after that is played out in full, with ratings refit after each one. Outcomes are sampled rather than awarded to the favorite, so upsets happen at the rate the model believes they happen. The mean rating comes back close to where the season has already put each team — a simulation learns nothing new about games nobody has played — so the 10th–90th band, not the mean, is the forecast, and it widens the further out the projection runs.

### Projected state champions

Each association's own procedure, applied to every simulated season.

**NCHSAA** — carried to a final RPI, the field taken from that alone, split east and west by school longitude, seeded on RPI. The higher seed hosts until the state final, which is neutral.

**NCISAA** — eight per classification over three rounds, seeded on rating with a head-to-head result able to overturn it, and the higher seed hosting throughout including the final. Teams under two wins or four games are ineligible.

| Class | Most likely | Next | Then |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1A | Northside 53% | Wilson Preparatory Academy 28% | Robbinsville 18% |
| 2A | Warren County 40% | Tarboro 38% | Holmes 10% |
