WHAT’S AHEAD

Playoffs will begin Oct. 9. With each team eligible to play in the post-season, coaches will vote on region seeding. The playoff computer ratings will not be used.

Teams that have a first-round playoff bye, can schedule a game or scrimmage that week, per OHSAA rules.

Once a team is eliminated from the post-season it may play an opponent in Weeks 8, 9 or 10 but not beyond.

Playing games after being eliminated from the post-season is not mandatory but is an option for teams to reach a possible 10-game schedule.
