Each team has a bye week, or a week off, during the season. The bye week is scheduled at different times for different teams so that every team has a chance to rest and prepare for their opponents.

The playoffs are a single-elimination tournament that culminates in the Super Bowl, which is played between the champions of each conference.

Some states have a playoff system to determine a state champion. In Texas, for example, there are six classifications of football teams based on enrollment. The top two teams from each district within each classification qualify for the playoffs. The playoff brackets are set so that the teams with the best records play the teams with the worst records first, and so on. The playoffs end in mid-December with the state championship games.
