As the WPIAL football regular season enters the final week, the playoff picture is starting to come into focus. This year is a bit different than other seasons in that the WPIAL Steering Committee will likely be selecting a number of teams due to COVID-related game cancellations. In Class 6A, 4 teams will make the playoffs. In the other five classes, 8 teams will make the playoffs. In 2A, only the conference champions are guaranteed a playoff spot and the WPIAL will select four wild cards. In 1A, 3A, 4A, and 5A the three conference champions and three second place teams will make the playoffs with the WPIAL choosing two wild cards in each classification.
