52 Teams with the Most Playoff Wins over the Past 10 Seasons

[OldSchoolLion]

Which teams have won the most playoff games over the past 10 seasons?  Well, here goes.  In order to make the top 52, a team had to have at least 12 playoff victories in the past 10 seasons. 

One can really see the teams that are lagging in terms of playoff performance.  Interesting that some of them are often ranked despite this.

16 of the Top 52 are private schools.

Two of the top 8 (Plant & Dr. Phillips) had to play each other in the second round 4 of those 10 years.

One team which may have surprised some is Carol City.  The Chiefs are only 10-8 in playoff games over the past 14 years, and 5 of those wins came during their 2016 state title run.   Who gave them those 8 playoff losses?  Will be interesting to see if they get their mojo back moving down in class.  

Central(2018 & 2015)

Northwestern(2017)

Dr Krop(2009)

Miramar(2008)

As far as I am concerned, until the program demonstrates signs of cratering, Mainland is one of those teams which belongs in the preseason Top 25 poll every season, simply based on their tradition of winning(#22 all-time in playoff wins).  That tradition is an intangible that sometimes gives them an edge.  No doubt they would have had more playoff wins had they not had the playoff paths they did over the past 10 years.

The only one I could think of is your list of 29 should be 30. Fort Pierce Central won at least 6 in that time frame.

There are actually a number of teams with 5-10 playoff wins not included in the "other" list.  I simply listed the ones I thought folks on the forum would be most interested in learning about.

True, Mainland has been a big fish in a small pond for 25 years. They don't have the weekly competition in Volusia county like others have in their's. That's why they've always attempted to schedule good teams during the season from other areas. Beating the "sisters of the poor" weekly doesn't help. A smack in the face during the season ALWAYS gets our guys in the right frame of mind. And now with the playoff points system, it's a must. Added this year : Sanford Seminole, Freedom Bowl opponent, Cocoa, and Bolles.
