Coaches Poll and MaxPreps Rankings (8-Man and 6-Man only)
For the 2021 season to get into the playoffs you must be ranked in the top 16 of the CHSAA RPI or win your league. THE CHSAA Seeding Index is then used to seed the top 16 RPI teams in the playoffs. The CHSAA Seeding index is comprised of the RPI, Maxpreps Rankings, Packard Rankings, and Coaches Poll. Each poll is weighed evenly. The links to each poll are listed. For the Coaches Poll: https://chsaanow.com/rankings/football/. Here is the Link for the MaxPreps Rankings: 8-Man Maxpreps Rankings and 6-Man Maxpreps Rankings. I will post the RPI and Packard Poll Separate. For 8-Man and 6-Man you must play at least 3 games to get ranked so the initial Maxpreps rankings are still incomplete.
