Experimental forecast

Playoffs & Qualification

Bracket probabilities use repeated simulations and the existing OSS prediction model. They are independent estimates, never official OSAA qualification or seeding decisions.

2026 bracket not yet available

No verified 2026 postseason bracket structure is stored. Oregon Sports Ranking will not invent pairings, advancement rules, or seeds. Simulation support is ready once an official bracket source is published and verified.

Qualification status unavailable

“Safely in,” “likely in,” “bubble,” “likely out,” and “eliminated” require verified classification-specific qualification rules. Those rules have not been configured, so no status is guessed.

Simulation method

For a verified bracket, 10,000 seeded simulations follow its exact dependency graph. Each matchup uses OSS Home/Draw/Away probabilities. Regulation-draw mass is split equally for advancement because an official overtime-specific model is not available. Results report advancement by round, semifinal, final, and championship probability.
