A look at the South Florida high school football playoff picture heading into week 11
Almost every district championship has been decided.
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t playoff spots still up for grabs for South Florida’s top high school football teams as we enter the final week of the regular season.
Here’s a region-by-region look at where Miami-Dade and Broward teams stand in the current playoff picture heading into week 11.
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 district leader.
