The Opponent Strength Index (OSI) provides a preseason snapshot of the overall strength of schedule for Class 4A programs heading into the 2025 season. The higher the OSI rating, the tougher the schedule a team is expected to face. As the season unfolds, the OSI will update weekly based on results, reflecting both performance and the quality of competition. It also serves as one of several key components in the Florida Power Rankings Index (FPRI), which delivers a comprehensive measure of team strength across the state.
These Preseason OSI rankings will evolve weekly throughout the 2025 season as games are played, offering an updated look at the toughest schedules in Class 4A football.
