State champions were crowned in several states last week in high school football, and more title games are coming up Thursday through Saturday this week.

Other states are in the semifinal phase and earlier, but big playoff games are taking place across the country this week regardless of the round.

The High School on SI staff picked our 10 best games across the country this week, then picked the winner and final score of all 10.
