With updated RPI standings from Saturday night, the 2A boys bracket is starting to take shape.  District champions have been crowned and those clubs will be seeded one through eight based on RPI standings.  Then again using RPI, teams are seeded nine through 32 to fill out the pairings.  Clubs in seeds nine through 24 are supposed to stay in place with those holding down the final seven seeds (25-32) possibly moved for travel considerations.  The committee will also likely move teams to avoid having teams from the same district or league pair up in the opening round.
We list the seed order below based on the most current RPI (Saturday at 9:20pm).  Please note these are not official pairings and only projected brackets from Colorado Preps.  RPI standings will be made official on Sunday and the pairings then released later in the day.
For our projections, we true seed the entire 32-team field with notes on where teams might be moved.  Please remember that the state tournament pairings will be reseeded once all eight teams qualify.

Notes:  We true seeded the bracket 1-32 under the current formula but with these pairings, changes could occur with the following matchups.  #25 Sargent will be moved away from Sanford and the Farmers could head to the Ignacio bracket.  Akron would also be moved to avoid a first-round pairing with league and district rival Sedgwick County.  They could easily exchange spots with Mancos who is 26th and would have a closer trip to Sanford compared to Ellicott.  We could also see Center being moved over the Ignacio bracket for travel considerations as well.  Several possibilities with teams sitting 25 through 32.
