Florida football 2023 rankings for Class 4M-1M & Class 4S-1S/1R: Week 9

We have the class-by-class Florida high school football rankings right here

It’s the final stretch run to the postseason in the Sunshine State and tensions are running high every Friday.

Everything about the season has been great, though, with many of the classifications giving us a lot more to think about than we anticipated before the season ever started. Maybe some of these classes are more up for grabs than we'd like to think? 

Whatever the case may be, the first few weeks have given us a glimpse of what the 2023 regular season has in store for us and plenty to think about.

We've got all the classifications individually and rankings right here at SBLive Sports Florida and we go through Classes 4M-1M, 4S-1S and 1R down below. 

Week 9 of high school football will start Thursday night and will be played well into Saturday. District play has begun all over the state as teams are jockeying to get ahead in the race to win district championships and to secure playoff berths.
