Post-season projections on the Class 3A level are a bit easier as they’re based solely on conference finish with RPI standings used (by us) to break potential three team ties.  The exception is the combined district of teams from the Confluence and Colorado 8 conferences.  There we used RPI to seed the teams instead of conference finish.
Please note these are projections only and official pairings won’t be released until later this week and into the weekend when regular season play wraps up.  We’ll post official brackets when they’re released by each league.
