Iowa high school football playoffs: Official list of 2019 qualifiers

The 2019 Iowa high school football playoff field is set.

Click here to see the brackets and first-round pairings.

Here's how playoff teams are determined:

• Each class has 16 qualifiers.

• District champions are automatic qualifiers and only one team per district earns an automatic berth. If it's a two-team tie, the head-to-head winner gets the bid. In the case of a three-team deadlock, the best RPI gets in automatically.

• The rest of the 16-team fields are determined by a Ratings Percentage Index formula, which includes all nine games, not just district games.

• If two teams are directly adjacent in final RPI, and if they played in the regular season, the winner gets the better seed.

Here is the list of qualifiers and their records and RPIs.
