Even though the War Eagle have lost 10 games, at No. 16 they would host a first-round playoff game.

Items of Note: The rating system does not like the public schools in Region 7. Despite a 14-1 record Georgia Military College will most likely need to win the region tournament in order to secure a spot in the top eight and a home playoff game in the first round of the state playoffs. No. 21 Lake Oconee Academy is the only other public school from the region in the top 24.
