The IAHSAA released the playoff brackets for each class of football, with all First Round games to be played Friday, with the Quarterfinal Round to be contested Nov. 2. The IAHSAA will then re-seed each once once the semifinals are set. All games in each of the first two rounds will begin at 7 p.m.
Seeding number shown is final RPI ranking in each class. Some teams were higher-rated on RPI but missed the playoffs as a district champion was awarded a spot despite having a lower RPI. Those teams, and their final RPI status, are listed at the end of each class.
