The second round of the AHSAA Class 6A state playoffs brings an intriguing matchup to Spartan Stadium Friday night as the undefeated Saraland Spartans (10-0) host the Spain Park Jaguars (9-2) in what figures to be one of the weekend’s most competitive contests.

With a win tonight, the 49ers’ odds of making the playoffs move from 83 percent from 89 percent in The Athletic’s NFL Playoff Simulator. With the Rams firmly atop the NFC West (and, now, the entire NFC), San Francisco is overwhelmingly likely to make the playoffs as a wild-card team.

The state semifinals for Class 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A (both 8- and 6-player) will take place on Saturday and The Oregonian/OregonLive will be following all of the action. With stats, highlight videos and any story ideas, feel free to reach out at [email protected].

Iowa enters the matchup in the wake of consecutive losses that took them out of the running for the conference title game and the College Football Playoff, so now the focus turns to winning at least eight games for the 10th time in the last 11 seasons.

The fourth unveiling of the College Football Playoff top 25 rankings will be released tonight. Follow along for live updates.
