The MIAA has released its latest batch of power ratings for the girls' basketball state tournaments.

These rankings may get slightly adjusted as schools alert MIAA about any errors in won/loss records. Schools are required to enter information into the ArbiterLive scheduling database in all varsity sports so the state playoffs can be seeded accordingly. The MIAA has had difficulty making sure that has been the case this season.

Here's where the Central Mass. teams stack up in each division. The top 32 teams will be seeded into the playoffs in each division.
