Beginning in the spring of 2024, the IHSAA will begin using a ranking committee to develop pods and brackets for the post-season, and State Tournament. No longer will it rely on Bound's ELO system, at least not entirely. Instead, the ranking committee made up of former coaches, media personnel, and Todd Tharp & Chris Cuellar (of the IHSAA) will determine the top 10 teams in each class. These rankings will begin during week 3 or week 4 of the regular season.
