Michigan high school football updated playoff points entering Week 8

The Michigan high school football playoffs are two weeks away.

The top 32 teams in each of the Michigan High School Athletic Association’s eight divisions earn a berth to the five-round playoffs, which begin Oct. 31.

The eight playoff brackets are determined by playoff points, which are derived from a formula that accounts for team wins, opponents’ division/school size, and how opponents fare in the rest of the season’s schedule.

Here is what the 256-team playoff field across all eight divisions looks like after seven weeks, according to the MHSAA’s playoff point summary. Playoff points are rounded to the hundredth decimal point.
