How Georgia’s new high school football playoff system works, why it’s controversial

The Georgia high school football playoff schedule is set, and the state's new ranking system has already sparked plenty of discussion. Ahead of the 2026-27 school year, Georgia adopted a new playoff ranking system, the Post Season Rankings (PSR), for all of sports. The goal is to create a more fair postseason by ensuring the most deserving teams earn playoff spots, regardless of their region. On Saturday, Nov. 7, the Georgia High School Association released the playoff brackets for all eight classifications. Here is everything you need to know about how Georgia's new playoff system works: How does Georgia's playoff system work? Under the new format, the top 32 teams in each classification qualified for the playoffs, rather than automatically awarding postseason spots to the top four teams in each region. Region champions, however, received automatic playoff berths. The GHSA used the PSR formula, its computer-based ranking system, to determine the remaining qualifiers and playoff seeds. According to the GHSA, the PSR system rewards winning consistently, playing strong GHSA schedules, opponents who also win consistently and strong regional competition depth.

This Georgia Restaurant Has Earned Local Awards For Its Steaks And Creative Burgers

Appetizers appear under Take Off, and side dishes have their own aviation-inspired names. I love a restaurant that commits to a theme this hard.

Georgia’s next school superintendent wants major changes to how schools are funded

Georgia’s incoming state school superintendent says addressing the teacher shortage, strengthening special education accountability and updating how the state pays for public education will be among her top priorities when she takes office. State School Superintendent-elect Lydia Powell sat down with Channel 2 Action News to discuss what she heard from voters during the campaign and what she plans to tackle first. Powell brings 26 years of experience in education, including 11 years in educational leadership. When asked what Georgia families and educators told her needs the most urgent attention, Powell pointed to several areas. “The first thing is special education accountability,” Powell said. “Also, teachers looking at cost-of-living increases and teacher salaries in the state of Georgia.” She also identified student behavior as a concern but said schools need to make sure children have access to services that address their underlying needs. Powell said she wants schools to provide “whole child experiences” and stronger wraparound services rather than simply viewing students as behavioral problems.
