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:Â No teams in Classes 1A-4A can officially clinch a playoff spot until the final playoff brackets are revealed on Sunday, November 3.

QUICK THOUGHTS:Â 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.
