Three weeks into the regular season, we’re starting to get a feel for which teams have legitimate thoughts of reaching the football playoffs in November.   Colorado Preps provides our current list of teams that in our mind will advance to the playoffs in each class.  Choices are subject to change of course as we’ll provide updates two or three more times during the regular season.

16 qualifiers will advance in classes six man through 3A with 24 making up the bracket in Classes 4A and 5A.  League champions earn automatic bids with the remaining berths determined by RPI.  Please note that the Metro 1 and 2 leagues in Class 5A can only advance their conference champion with the same setup in the 4A I-25.
