Who's in? Who's out? Who could get in but needs a win this week?
Find it all here, as we break down the scenarios for the finishing order and playoff teams for all 44 Oklahoma high school football districts.
Class 6AI
District 6AI-1
Bixby will win the district with a Week 10 victory against Jenks. It would create a three-way tie with Jenks and Norman North if the Trojans can defeat the top-ranked Spartans and North wins its finale against Enid.
Norman North is likely second with a win and Jenks is third if it loses to Bixby. Broken Arrow, Enid and Westmoore control its own destinies for fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively, while Moore would need to knock off Broken Arrow this week and get some help to sneak into the final spot.
District 6AI-2
Tulsa Union and Mustang have already wrapped up the top two seeds and first-round playoff byes. Owasso can capture third place with a win against Norman.
It gets jumbled from there. Norman, Edmond Memorial and Edmond North all enter the final week tied at 3-3. If all win, it could create a four-way tie along with Owasso for third. If all lose, it's a three-way tie for fourth.
Various other tiebreakers could come into play as well. But these are the six teams for sure reaching the playoffs from the district, with Edmond Santa Fe and Yukon already eliminated.
Class 6AII
District 6AII-1
A showdown Week 10 game decides the top two as undefeated Stillwater and Muskogee play for first and second place. Tulsa Booker T. Washington will finish third and Sand Springs will finish fourth.
This week's Bartlesville-Tahlequah winner secures fifth place, with the loser getting the sixth seed.
District 6AII-2
Choctaw controls its own destiny for first place and can wrap it up with a win against Ponca City. But if the Cats can win, it's a likely three-way tie including Edmond Deer Creek that would go to tiebreaker points.
In any event, those three teams are locked into the top three seeds. A Choctaw win would put the Yellowjackets first, Deer Creek second and Ponca City third.
Lawton has clinched fourth place. Putnam City and Putnam North are headed for fifth and sixth in some order, depending on Week 10's results.
Class 5A
District 5A-1
The Midwest City-Elgin winner in Week 10 will finish first and the loser will be second. El Reno already has clinched third. Lawton MacArthur plays at Noble this week, and the winner of that game gets fourth place.
District 5A-2
Midwest City Carl Albert will finish first and OKC Bishop McGuinness will be second. Guthrie clinches third if it can beat winless Shawnee this week or if Carl Albert beats Piedmont, either of which would slot Piedmont in fourth.
In the unlikely scenario the Blue Jays lose and Piedmont wins, then Piedmont takes third and Guthrie fourth.
District 5A-3
Coweta clinched the district championship with its dramatic win against Del City in Week 9. It's a jumble from there with Del City, Sapulpa and McAlester all tied for second after Sapulpa's upset win against the Buffaloes last week.
All three of those teams are favored to win in Week 10. If they all do, then they'll go to tiebreaker points to determine second, third and fourth place.
Del City currently is at +58, McAlester +30 and Sapulpa +15, so that's almost assuredly the order they would finish in and be seeded in the case.
District 5A-4
The winner of the Grove-Tulsa Bishop Kelley contest in Week 10 finishes first. Collinsville secures second place with a win against Claremore and a Grove win.
But a Collinsville win and a Bishop Kelley win would create a three-way tie for first that goes to tiebreaker points. Grove currently sits at +90, BK at +56 and Collinsville at +52.
Claremore will be fourth no matter what else happens.
Class 4A
District 4A-1
Elk City has already clinched the district title entering the final week. But it's a wild chase behind the Elks with four squads battling it out for playoff position.
Weatherford and Clinton have clinched playoff berths, but could wind up second, third or fourth.
Chickasha faces Cache in a critical game in Week 10. The Chicks could also finish second, third or fourth with a win, but a loss eliminates them entirely and puts Cache in as the fourth seed.
District 4A-2
This district is razor-thin at the top and probably coming down to tiebreaker points between the top three - Bethany, Tuttle, and Blanchard, who all are 5-1 entering Week 10.
Bethany is +63, Tuttle is +56 and Blanchard is +53 in points entering the final week. If all win, then those points will determine first, second and third.
But Newcastle, which has clinched the final playoff spot, could throw the whole thing off with a win this week against Bethany. If that happens, then even more scenarios could come into play, although the most likely result then would be Blanchard first, Tuttle second, Newcastle third and Bethany fourth.
Clearly, a lot still is up in the air.
District 4A-3
Cushing sliced through all challengers to win the district championship. Wagoner will finish second and Oologah can wrap up third place with a win against Tulsa McLain this week.
Miami would be in for sure with a win against Wagoner or a McLain loss. If McLain wins and Miami loses, McLain, Miami and Oologah would go to tiebreaker points to decide the third and fourth place qualifiers.
District 4A-4
Much like in District 4A-2, this grouping also has three teams tied at 5-1 entering the final week, and likely is headed to tiebreaker points to determine the top three finishers.
Hilldale is at +53, Poteau at +49 and Broken Bow at +45 entering Week 10 play and if all win, those points will come into play.
As with Newcastle in 4A-2, Ada has a chance to crash that party as it hosts Broken Bow in Week 10 and can finish 5-2 with a victory. The Cougars will be the fourth team in the playoffs no matter what.
Class 3A
District 3A-1
Tulsa Metro Christian is unbeaten and already has clinched the district championship.
Perkins-Tryon wraps up second with a win against Mannford this week, while Anadarko and Kingfisher are facing off against each other in Week 10 in a game that should decide third and fourth place, barring a Perkins defeat.
District 3A-2
OKC Heritage Hall and Marlow face off for first and second place this week.
Plainview, Lone Grove and Pauls Valley are still in the chase for third and fourth place. Plainview meets Sulphur and Lone Grove takes on Pauls Valley in huge Week 10 contests.
The Lone Grove-Pauls Valley winner finishes no worse than third and could even be second. But the loser might be out entirely depending on what happens in other games. Plainview needs to win and get some help to wrap up fourth place.
District 3A-3
Lincoln Christian has already claimed the No. 1 seed. Stigler, Muldrow and Berryhill have clinched the other three playoff spots and likely are headed to tiebreaker points to break a three-way tie for second place.
Muldrow's district season is finished at 4-2 and +31 in district points. Stigler is 3-2 and +22, while Berryhill is 3-2 and +15, each with Week 10 games they'll be big favorites to win.
District 3A-4
Verdigris clinches first with a Week 10 victory against winless Inola. Tulsa Cascia Hall will be second unless it beats Dewey and Inola can win against Verdigris.
Defending state champion Tulsa Holland Hall has rebounded from an 0-5 start and will be third with a win against Jay. Bristow clinches at least fourth with a win against Tulsa Central, but a Bristow loss and a Jay win would produce a three-way tie for third between those two squads and Holland Hall.
Class 2A
District 2A-1
Millwood has clinched first place and Oklahoma Christian School will finish second. Newkirk faces Hennessey in Week 10, with the victor taking third and the loser finishing fourth.
District 2A-2
Jones already has wrapped up first place in the district.
Luther, Chandler and Crossings Christian are in a fight for the order of the final three spots, with Luther and Chandler meeting in Week 10. Luther claims second with a win, but a Chandler win likely means a three-way tie that would go to tiebreaker points.
The current tiebreaker points for those squads: Luther +60; Chandler +35; Crossings Christian +30.
District 2A-3
Washington is one win away from an undefeated season and already has clinched first place. Frederick will be second.
Lindsay can clinch third place with a win this week against OKC Crooked Oak, or if Community Christian School loses to Frederick. CCS is already in the playoffs, but looks to be headed for fourth place.
District 2A-4
Davis is in its customary first-place spot with another district championship locked up.
Holdenville has finished second and Kingston third. Atoka and Coalgate will play this week in a win-or-go-home game for the fourth spot.
District 2A-5
Vian will finish first after its Week 9 victory against Prague, which will be second. Warner can clinch third and Henryetta can clinch fourth with wins in Week 10.
Okemah could sneak in if one of those two slip, but the Panthers would also have to upset Prague this week.
District 2A-6
It's all on the line in Week 10, as the Idabel-Eufaula winner will finish first and the loser will finish second.
Hugo is locked in for third and Spiro can wrap up fourth with a win against winless Wilburton in Week 10. Valliant could still claim fourth if Spiro slips up.
District 2A-7
The top four teams face off in two games that will make sense of a closely-packed district.
Kiefer can wrap up first place by defeating Tulsa Victory Christian in the Week 10 finale. If the Conquerors win, it would mean a three-way tie that also would include Beggs if the Demons defeat Sperry.
However, Sperry jumbles things further if it can defeat Beggs, either moving up to third with a Victory Christian win, or with a Kiefer win creating a three-way tie for second with Victory Christian and Beggs that would go to tiebreaker points.
In any case, these will be the four playoff teams but they could finish in multiple different orders.
District 2A-8
Rejoice Christian will finish first. Sequoyah-Claremore wrapped up second with a Week 9 win against Vinita. The Hornets get third if they defeat Salina this week.
Pawhuska finishes against Rejoice but will take fourth unless it wins, or Salina defeats Vinita, in which case Vinita, Pawhuska and Salina would go to tiebreaker points to determine third, fourth and fifth place.
Class A
District A-1
Fairview already has the top spot and district championship clinched. Mooreland, Burns Flat-Dill City and Hooker all are tied for second at 4-2 and will go to tiebreaker points if each wins this week.
Texhoma/Goodwell, which faces Mooreland, could also sneak in for the final playoff spot with a win and wins by Burns Flat-Dill City and Hooker.
District A-2
Boone-Apache has wrapped up first place already. Walters will finish second.
Mangum and Snyder square off in Week 10 in a game that will decide third, with the loser finishing fourth.
District A-3
This race centers around Crescent. At 3-1 in the district, Crescent finishes first by tiebreaker ahead of 4-1 Christian Heritage with a win this week against Cashion.
But a loss drops Crescent to fourth behind Minco and Cashion, and would give CHA the district championship.
District A-4
Ringling wraps up first place if it beats Stratford in Week 10. But a Stratford win likely creates a three-way tiebreaker scenario between the Bulldogs, Ringling and Wynnewood.
If Ringling wins, then Wynnewood will be second and Stratford third. Dibble is headed for fourth if it can beat Rush Springs Friday.
District A-5
One of the state's more competitive districts saw Hominy clinch first place with last week's victory.
Tonkawa faces Woodland in Week 10, with the winner finishing second and the loser taking third. Chelsea has clinched the No. 4 seed.
District A-6
Stroud will finish first. If Hartshorne defeats Liberty this week, the Miners get second, Allen third and Liberty fourth.
But a Liberty win and an Allen win against Mounds would create a three-way tie for second that would head to tiebreaker points.
Mounds also could still sneak in on tiebreaker points by beating Allen and Liberty losing to Hartshorne.
District A-7
Colcord will be first and looks to finish an undefeated season this week. Quapaw will finish second. Commerce has clinched third.
Fairland plays at Ketchum this week, with the winner taking fourth place.
District A-8
Gore has dominated all year and will finish first. Four teams are in the chase from there.
Pocola has finished 4-2, but both Panama and Central Sallisaw can join them at 4-2 with Week 10 victories, which would create a tiebreaker situation for those three teams. Haskell also can still find its way in, but needs a win against Panama and some help.
Class B
District B-1
Laverne leads the standings going into the final week after beating Turpin in Week 9. They can finish off first place with a win this week against Balko-Forgan. That would put Turpin second and Balko-Forgan third.
However, those three teams go to a tiebreaker for the first three spots if Balko-Forgan wins. Hollis is guaranteed to finish fourth.
District B-2
Oklahoma Bible Academy will finish first.
This week's Ringwood-Cherokee game will decide second and third. Pond Creek-Hunter has locked up fourth.
District B-3
Seiling can win the title with a win this week against Southwest Covenant. That would put Covington-Douglas second and Southwest Covenant third, but if Seiling loses this game, those three teams would go to tiebreaker points to decide the first three positions.
Despite all being under .500, Canton, Okeene and Waukomis all are still alive for the fourth spot. Canton is in the best position, as a win against Waukomis guarantees they would advance.
District B-4
Velma-Alma will finish first. Waurika and Cyril face off for second and third this week, while Central High and Wilson will play for the final playoff spot.
District B-5
Unbeaten Dewar can win the district title with a victory this week against 6-2 Caddo. A Caddo win likely forces a three-way tie between these two squads and Quinton, which would need to beat Webbers Falls.
Wins by Dewar and Webbers Falls would instead create a three-way tie for second place between Caddo, Quinton and Webbers Falls that would go to tiebreaker points.
District B-6
Keota is the district champion.
This week's Welch-Arkoma game will decide the second and third place teams. Gans is guaranteed the fourth playoff spot.
District B-7
Undefeated Regent Prep hosts Pioneer with the district title on the line this week. The loser of the game finishes second.
Barnsdall and Yale have similar stakes, a head-to-head game, but it will be for third and fourth place.
District B-8
This district has the same scenario at the top as B-7, as Weleetka and Wetumka face off for first and second place.
Davenport can lock up third with a win against Depew, which would give Summit Christian fourth. If Depew wins, it forces a three-way tie for third place between Depew, Davenport and Summit Christian.
Class C
District C-1
Waynoka will be district champion.
Timberlake gets second if it can defeat Medford this week, which would put Buffalo third and Medford fourth. A Medford win likely brings about a three-way tie between the Cardinals, Timberlake and Buffalo.
District C-2
Tipton has clinched first place. Mountain View-Gotebo will finish second.
Geary clinches third with a win against Corn Bible, which would leave Ryan in the fourth spot. If Corn Bible defeats Geary, then those two squads and Ryan go to tiebreaker points to decide third, fourth and fifth place.
District C-3
Wesleyan Christian leads the standings going into the final week and clinches first with a win against Coyle. Wilson (Henryetta) would then be second with a win against Watts, leaving Coyle third and the winner of the Copan-Oaks game finishing fourth.
However, if Coyle can defeat Wesleyan Christian, it's likely a three-way tie for first along with Wilson that would go to tiebreaker points.
District C-4
Maud has dominated all comers and won the district championship. Thackerville has clinched second place.
Maysville would finish third and Graham-Dustin fourth if each wins this week. Paoli also holds out hope of getting in, but needs a win against Maysville and some help.
