Although trying to look too far into the future can be futile – especially after 2020 – we’re going to do it anyway and try to predict who will make the playoffs in each region including area teams.
Teams are listed in order of predicted finish. Top four teams in each region qualify for the playoffs unless otherwise noted.
We also take a stab at predicting the championship games in each class.
