Updated: High School Football Playoff Race Class 1A-4A

We’re finally here! The last week of the regular season is done and the playoffs are here. Several teams are in and some left out. The RPI system had everyone on pins a needles, but the wait is over. Check out who’s in and who’s out below.

Class 1A Region 3

RPI Rankings

1. Chiefland – 0.651
2. Hilliard – 0.632
3. Union County- 0.630
4. Lafayette- 0.570
5. Fort White – 0.504
6. Trenton- 0.484

Chiefland and Hilliard have a first round bye. Union County was not happy that they went 10-0 and still have to play a first round game vs Trenton. Lafayette and Fort White will play in round one.

Class 2A Region 1

RPI Rankings

1. Trinity-0.613
2. Munroe- 0.603
3. University Christian-0.601
4. St. Paul II- 0.589
5. North Florida Christian-0.543
6. Rocky Bayou Christian- 0.481

Trinity lands safely at #1 after University Christian’s loss on Friday to Atlantic Coast. The loss knocked University Christian from #1 to #3. Trinity lost to Lincoln but still ensured a bye and homefield advantage throughout the region. University Christian now has a familiar foe in Rocky Bayou Christian.

Class 3A Region 1

RPI Rankings

1. Trinity Catholic (Ocala)- 0.660
2. Walton – 0.655
3. Florida State University- 0.632
4. P.K Yonge-0.597
5. Crescent City- 0.567
6. Episcopal- 0.546

Episcopal’s loss to University Christian last week and Bishop Kenny Friday dropped them from #5 to currently #6. But they are in! They are the only team in 3A to make it from the region in Northeast Florida.

Class 4A Region 1

RPI Rankings

1. South Walton- 0.663
2. Bolles- 0.652
3. Andrew Jackson- 0.575
4. Baldwin- 0.567
5. Marianna – 0.546
6. Gadsden County – 0.491

Bolles seemed to be firmly the #1 seed until to consecutive losses to Buchholz and Tru Prep. Now, South Walton has jumped them for the #1 seed. Baldwin loss Baker County put them down to #4. While Jackson is now at #3 as we predicted the flip. West Nassau lost the hold on the final spot to Gadsden County (2-6) who upset previously undefeated Mosely (9-1) two weeks ago. West Nassau scheduled Hollis Christian (2-5) on Tuesday and defeated them 47-8 in hope of boosting their RPI by record. Even their defeat of Ridgeview (1-8) Friday wasn’t enough to jump Gadsden County due to their strength of schedule not being strong enough.
