With one week left in Florida high school football season, the final rankings are starting to take shape. However, with one week left in the season, there can still be a huge shakeup in the rankings.

The first matchup to watch is Lakeland vs St. Thomas Aquinas in the 5A state championship game. The stakes could not be higher as the Raiders are looking to repeat as state champions while the Dreadnaughts are looking for revenger after their 34-0 loss to the Raiders in last season's championship.

In the 1A state championship game, Cardinal Newman will be looking to pull off the upset over Chaminade-Madonna which would also put the Crusaders in the final top 10 state rankings.

Miami Northwestern versus Raines, Cardinal Mooney versus Bolles, Vero Beach versus Lake Mary and West Boca Raton versus West Broward are the other state championship matchups which has the potential to shake up the final rankings.
