The MHSAA football playoff qualification format has been altered this year. No longer will six wins automatically qualify you for the playoffs. Instead, teams have been placed into pre-set divisions prior to the start of the season. The 32 teams that accumulate the most playoff points in each divisions are selected to participate in the playoffs. For complete information on the process, and the alteration of points, visit this link on the MHSAA’s website.

With two weeks to go in the regular season, fluctuation is inevitable. But based on six weeks of games played, below are the current playoff standings for teams in the MSR coverage area.
