The latest rankings from the Florida Power Rankings Index are out for the Class 3A. For full view of all 103 teams in Class 3A requires a Premium Season Ticket Membership (Yearly) or the Premium Monthly Season Ticket Membership. To subscribe, click here.
Rankings are calculated using the Florida Power Rankings Index’s two-year historical blend, incorporating game results, strength of schedule, point differential, and opponent quality. Teams are listed in order of their FPRI rating, which serves as the baseline for all championship probability calculations throughout the season. The rankings from the preseason will eventually phase out as teams play enough games to get a gauge on the current season itself.
Important: The Florida Power Rankings Index represents our best educated—and mathematical—assessment of team strength heading into 2026. The FHSAA MaxPreps Power Rankings will determine official district tournament seeding and regional playoff seeding. These FPRI ratings are analytical tools for understanding the competitive landscape in Florida, not official FHSAA rankings.
Ratings will update weekly throughout the season as game results are recorded. Independent schools are included in regional rankings but are not eligible for FHSAA district tournaments or playoffs.
Rankings compiled from all games played through Saturday, March 7, 2026.
