Football RPI standings have updated with results from Friday and we list the top 20 teams in Classes 3A, 4A and 5A. League champions automatically qualify and then the rest of the field is filled out based on RPI standings. A few teams still have games on Saturday that will alter the standings later tonight.
RPI standings will be made official and brackets released by CHSAA on Sunday.
One curious note is taking place in Class 3A. Pueblo East is a league champion but sits 17th in the standings. The three-time defending state champions are automatically guaranteed a playoff berth but may not get to play at home unless they finish in the top 16.
Once games wrap up tonight, we’ll look at how the playoff brackets may shape up ahead of the official release tomorrow.
