Things changed very little for area teams in the Ohio High School Athletic Association football computer ratings, released on Tuesday.

The rankings, which determine the 192 playoff teams around the state, feature 22 area schools in the top 12 of their respective regions.

The top eight teams in each region qualify for the postseason, which begins Nov. 5-6.

The most-populated regions are in Division III and V, where five of the top 12 schools are from the area in Region 9 and Region 17, respectively.

Poland (4-2) leads the way in fifth place, followed by Hubbard (4-2) in sixth, Mooney (3-2) in seventh, Niles (3-3) in 10th and Southeast (3-3) in 11th.

Poland plays host to Howland on Friday. The Tigers (6-0) are the only area team ranked in Div. II, at No. 4 in Region 5.

Region 17 is led by Ursuline (6-0) in second. Crestview (5-1) is third, South Range (5-1) in sixth, United (4-2) in eighth and Brookfield (3-3) in 11th.
