Football Playoff Outlook — 2024-25

* Last updated at 3:52 pm on Tuesday, October 22, 2024

Print this page

This list shows hypothetical classes for the IHSA Football Playoffs. If the season had ended last weekend (after 8 weeks), the class cutoffs would have been made as shown below. This list is not a prediction of the final classes and seeds.

A school's football classification (1A through 8A) depends on the makeup of the entire 256-team field. Because the teams in this hypothetical field change from week to week, schools that are "on the bubble" may move back and forth between classes as the season progresses. Find out more about how the classifications are determined.

At the request of the Chicago Public League, all teams in the Red, White-North, and White-South divisions are eligible for the IHSA playoffs. Additionally, at the request of the Chicago Public League, the top two teams from White-Northwest, White-South Central, White-Southwest, and White-West divisions are eligible for the IHSA playoffs.

NOTES:

Wins are the most important playoff selection criterion. Opponents' wins are used to break ties.

* indicates a school that has either chosen to play up or has been moved up by the success adjustment.

"Bid" indicates teams that have already clinched a playoff spot (but remember, the team's final class is not determined until the end of the season).

Bids: R = conference representative/champion; C = clinched playoff berth (6+ wins)
