FloridaHSFootball.com has released its Preseason Rankings for all eight classifications, plus the Florida Top 25 Preseason Rankings. For teams to be ranked in the Florida Top 25, they must be ranked in our classification rankings. Links included direct back to full write up for each classification, if you wish to link to those. Schedule, tradition, possible playoff seeding placement and what a team will potentially have to work with were considered in the rankings.
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me at the information below.
