Week 11 FHSAA RPI Class 5A Football Rankings

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – 10 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.a

In Classes 5A-8A, district record was taken into consideration except on certain exceptions which are noted.

For Class 5A, 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.

REGION 3

PROJECTED SEEDS

District Champions

No. 1 Rockledge (5A-9)

QUICK THOUGHTS: Only change this week for the region is Merritt Island falling from the No. 6 seed to the No. 8 seed while Sebring moved up from the No. 8 seed to the No. 6 seed. Zephyrhills and Chamberlain are the next two closest teams looking to try to grab the No. 8 seed but will need a ton of help to make it happen.

QUICK THOUGHTS: American Heritage and Northwestern have traded the top two seeds once again, showing just how tough the schedules have been for both teams this season. Miami Killian and North Miami Beach move up to the No. 5 and No. 6 seeds respectively while Key West falls from the No. 5 seed to the No. 7 seed.
