N.J. football power rankings following Week 4 of the regular season

The third power rankings rollout of the N.J. football season came out on Monday following five weeks of games around the state.

Below, you will find the complete rankings for all 12 playoff groups. Teams are ranked by their UPR number – a combination of power points and Opponents’ Strength Index (OSI). The top 16 teams in UPR per public section will reach the postseason and each section will be broken up into two sub-sections.

The non-public sections will be seeded by committee. All eight teams in Non-Public A will qualify for the playoffs, while the top 16 teams in Non-Public B will be slotted into the postseason, assuming they want to participate.

The cutoff for postseason play will be Oct. 26, with the tournament beginning Nov. 1 and state finals being contested from Nov. 29-Dec. 4 at either Rutgers University or MetLife Stadium.

Gridironnewjersey.com is responsible for producing the rankings each week.
