A look at the South Florida high school football playoff picture heading into week 10
South Florida’s top high school football teams are cementing playoff spots and clinching more district titles this week.
So here’s a region-by-region look at where Miami-Dade and Broward teams stand in the current playoff picture heading into week 10 of the regular season.
The top eight teams in each region in Classes 4M-2M qualify for the postseason. In Class 1M, the top four teams advance. District champions automatically earn a playoff berth regardless of their FHSAA ranking and would earn a spot ahead of an at-large qualifier with a higher ranking.
NOTES: Teams listed in order by FHSAA ranking. Team rankings listed in parentheses, along with which district team plays in; x-denotes current district leader.
