Previewing the FHSAA playoffs, who to watch, upset options in every class

The FHSAA state playoffs are ready to get underway this week, with first games set for Friday, Nov. 13. It's a new-look postseason for Florida's top football teams, with an "open division" creating a true state champion and a loss of two overall classifications from the top and bottom of the list. Class 7A and Rural were both eliminated, meaning there will be seven teams ending the postseason holding up a trophy in 2026 at Pit Bull Stadium. There are also some smaller championships this year, with a separate bracket for teams that decided to play in independent schedule in 2026, as well as big school-small school divisions for the Florida Invitational Tournament, which involves teams who did not qualify through district play.
