November has arrived. That means the playoffs are just about here.

We’re down to 13 undefeated teams with just a singular team left without a loss at the Class 6 level in Mancheseter and ditto for Class 3 with Magna Vista. Ironically enough, both will get challenges to close out the regular season in pursuit of gaining home-field for multiple rounds of the postseason.

Part of our Dynamic Dozen Picks that we will have on the VIP Board on VaPreps, we’ve got 12 games involving teams 6-3 or better against one another. Each game features at least one team either ranked or on the Honorable Mention list. That docket looks like this:

Bethel (6-3) at Hampton (8-1)
Manchester (9-0) at Huguenot (8-1)
North Stafford (7-2) at Riverbend (9-0)
Gar-Field (6-3) at Woodbridge (8-1)
Lake Braddock (7-2) at West Springfield (7-2)
Kempsville (7-2) at Cox (7-2)
Nansemond River (7-2) at King’s Fork (8-1)
Thomas Jefferson-Richmond (6-3) at Hermitage (7-2)
Magna Vista (9-0) at GW-Danville (8-1)
Heritage-Lynchburg (8-1) at Jefferson Forest (8-1)
Gate City (7-2) at Ridgeview (8-1)
Altavista (6-3) at Gretna (8-1)

Below you can see a full expanded chart of the complete Top Tens for all six classifications heading into the final week of the 2025 Virginia High School Football season. Remember, the hyperlinks on the team names take you to our in-depth previews from the start of the campaign.
