Ranking surviving teams, headed into the regional round of the 2019 MHSAA football postseason
With district championships having been handed out, and two rounds of the postseason behind us, it’s as good a time as any to revisit our rankings, looking at the top remaining teams. The only rule? You have to still be alive to be eligible for a ranking. As we did in the regular season, we’ve divided the teams into two parts — the big schools (Division 1-3) and the smaller schools (D4-8). And, as always, these are just for fun. The real rankings are established on the field, over the next three weeks of play.
