Week 10 FHSAA RPI Class 3A Football Rankings

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Nine 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.

REGION 1

PROJECTED SEEDS

Top 6

No. 1 Pensacola Catholic
No. 2 Trinity Catholic
No. 3 Florida High
No. 4 Episcopal
No. 5 Baldwin
No. 6 Trinity Christian (Jacksonville)

PROJECTED REGIONAL QUARTERFINAL PAIRINGS

No. 1 Pensacola Catholic – BYE
No. 5 Baldwin at No. 4 Episcopal
No. 6 Trinity Christian (Jacksonville) at No. 3 Florida High
No. 2 Trinity Catholic – BYE

QUICK THOUGHTS: A lot of shuffling in the region again this week with Baldwin falling from the No. 2 seed down to the No. 5 seed after their loss to University Christian. Trinity Catholic benefits greatly from their victory of Victory Christian going from the No. 5 seed to the No. 2 seed. Florida High and Episcopal trade places among the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds, while Trinity Christian may have a hold on the No. 6 seed after getting a solid victory over Robert E. Lee last week.

REGION 2

PROJECTED SEEDS

Top 6

No. 1 Lakeland Christian
No. 2 Holy Trinity
No. 3 The First Academy (Orlando)

PROJECTED REGIONAL QUARTERFINAL PAIRINGS

No. 1 Lakeland Christian – BYE
No. 5 Father Lopez at No. 4 Frostproof
No. 6 Taylor (Pierson) at No. 3 The First Academy (Orlando)
No. 2 Holy Trinity – BYE

QUICK THOUGHTS: Another region that seeds a lot of shuffling with Lakeland Christian and Holy Trinity firmly holding the top two seeds, but seeing The First Academy jump from the No. 5 seed to the No. 3 seed while Frostproof jumps to the No. 4 seed from No. 6. Father Lopez slides back from the No. 5 seed while Taylor (Pierson) slides back to the No. 6 seed.

PROJECTED REGIONAL QUARTERFINAL PAIRINGS

No. 1 Berkeley Prep – BYE
No. 5 Cardinal Newman at No. 4 Clearwater Central Catholic
No. 6 Benjamin at No. 3 Oasis
No. 2 Bishop Verot – BYE

QUICK THOUGHTS: No changes among the top three teams in the region, but Clearwater Central Catholic got a huge boost moving from the No. 6 seed to the No. 4 seed in their region after picking up the win over NSU University School last week. Cardinal Newman and Benjamin both slide back to the No. 5 and No. 6 seeds respectively.

No. 1 Calvary Christian (Fort Lauderdale) – BYE
No. 5 Westminster Christian at No. 4 St. Andrew’s
No. 6 Somerset Silver Palms at No. 3 Miami Edison
No. 2 Chaminade-Madonna – BYE

QUICK THOUGHTS: The top two doesn’t change, but seeds No. 3 through No. 6 change drastically with Miami Edison climbing from the No. 5 seed to the No. 3 seed while St. Andrew’s and Westminster Christian fall back to the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds. Somerset Silver Palms rises up to the No. 6 seed overtaking Palmer Trinity in the rankings.
