These are based on a mathematical formula calculated by Ken Massey, an American sports statistician well-known for his development of a methodology for ranking and rating sports teams in a variety of sports. His ratings have been a part of the Bowl Championship Series since its inception.

Each week, we'll update the projections to see how any upsets during the weekend affect the brackets.

This week, we have the projected scores for the 1A and 5A brackets, through the championship games.

REMINDER: These are projections, NOT predictions and are not the thought of 9NEWS or your's truly. They are merely a guide to the week's action and - most importantly - something to have fun with. Enjoy!
