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.
In Classes 5A-8A, district record was taken into consideration except on certain exceptions which are noted.
For Class 7A, 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.

Wildcards
No. 5 Venice

No. 8 Sarasota at No. 1 Palm Beach Lakes
No. 5 Venice at No. 4 Lehigh
No. 6 Pinealls Park at No. 3 Manatee
No. 7 East Lake at No. 2 Mitchell
QUICK THOUGHTS: While District 7A-9 is in a three-way tie, it appears that Mitchell will not be caught by Pinellas Park or East Lake to get the district championship, so we will call it now for Mitchell as district champions. With that said it shakes the landscape up some as Mitchell moves from No. 5 to No. 2 while Venice falling to Manatee moves them from No. 2 to No. 5. East Lake moves up a spot to No. 7 while Pinellas Park lands at No. 6 from No. 3. Sarasota currently holds the last seed at No. 8 bumping out Lakewood Ranch.
