GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Eight weeks are in the books for the 2019 Florida high school football season and the FHSAA has given us another round of updated RPI rankings meaning we are another week closer to the playoffs.
As such this update provides the entire state a glimpse of what the potential playoff matchups could be looking like in early November, but remember things change, even with four weeks to go.
In Classes 5A-8A, district record was taken into consideration except on certain exceptions which are noted.
For Class 3A, you will find a breakdown of RPI rankings for each team in every region and a projected seeding (including tiebreakers) based upon the guidelines as published by the FHSAA (click here to view), as well as quick thoughts about each region.
NOTE: No teams in Classes 1A-4A can officially clinch a playoff spot until the final playoff brackets are revealed on Sunday, November 3.

PROJECTED REGIONAL QUARTERFINAL PAIRINGS
No. 1 Pensacola Catholic – BYE
No. 5 Trinity Catholic at No. 4 Florida High
No. 6 Trinity Christian (Jacksonville) at No. 3 Episcopal
No. 2 Baldwin- BYE
QUICK THOUGHTS: A lot of shuffling this week between the No. 2 to No. 6 seeds with Baldwin moving up to the No. 2 seed while Florida High feel two spots to the No. 4 seed. Episcopal now has the No. 3 seed while Trinity Catholic has the No. 5 seed. Trinity Christian is barely hanging on to the No. 6 seed and will need to win out to secure a playoff spot. A loss this week or next week could seal their playoff fate.

QUICK THOUGHTS: The biggest mover this week is Father Lopez who is now seeded No. 3 in the Region after a big win over Taylor (Pierson) last week who slides down to No. 4. Trinity Prep which was ranked No. 5 is out of the Top 6 with The First Academy at No. 5 and Frostproof at No. 6.

QUICK THOUGHTS: The only change in the region was Bishop Verot and Berkeley Prep changing the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds after Bishop Verot dropped a close game last week to American Heritage (Delray).
