10 weeks are in the books for the 2021 Florida high school football season and the FHSAA has released their latest look at the RPI football playoff rankings as we head into the final week of the regular season. As such this is going to be our last RPI breakdown for the 2021 season.
As such, this update provides the entire state a glimpse of what the potential playoff matchups could be looking like come the second week of November, but remember things change, as we still have three weeks worth of games (including this week) to go, however, the playoff picture has become much clearer with some teams already done for the regular season and other teams having one game remaining.
In Classes 5A-8A, district record was taken into consideration except on certain exceptions which are noted.
For Class 6A, 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.

PROJECTED DISTRICT CHAMPS
This is based on current district standings and taking the highest-rated team among the district standings if they have won district games. Should a district not have any district games played as of yet, the highest-rated team will be mythically slotted in as a district champion for projection purposes only. Teams highlighted in red have officially clinched their district championship.
6A-1: Pine Forest – No. 2
6A-2: Mosley – No. 1
6A-3: Columbia- No. 3
6A-4: Gainesville – No. 4
PROJECTED REGIONAL QUARTERFINAL PAIRINGS
No. 8 Gulf Breeze vs. No. 1 Pine Forest
No. 5 Riverside vs. No. 4 Columbia
No. 6 Lincoln vs. No. 3 Gainesville
No. 7 Rickards vs. No. 2 Mosley
QUICK THOUGHTS: With all the districts locked in place the district champions are set, but there are some changes. That starts with Pine Forest at No. 1 while Mosley falls to No. 2 and Gainesville rising to No. 3 while Columbia falls to No. 4. St. Augustine who was the No. 8 seed last week is now on the outside looking in as the No. 9 team in the region with Rickards jumping up to No. 7 and Gulf Breeze sliding to No. 8.

No. 5 Braden River vs. No. 4 Countryside
No. 6 Northeast (St. Petersburg) vs. No. 3 Sumner
No. 7 Hillsborough vs. No. 2 Pinellas Park
QUICK THOUGHTS: The biggest change this week is Pinellas Park jumping all the way from the No. 7 seed to the No. 2 seed as they got a big win over Boca Ciega to force a three-way tie for the district which will be determined by the final RPI rankings that come out on Sunday. There were no other changes for the top four seeds this week, but in the at-large berths, Hillsborough moves up to the No. 7 seed while Boca Ciega is now looking at the No. 8 seed, while Southeast is on the outside looking in.
