How long is your season?

Nebraska:

Week 0 was August 27th. That's due to some odd numbers in districts, so those teams that played that night get a bye during the season.

Week 1 was Sept. 2/3. Week 8 (for Classes C-1 through D-2) will be Oct. 21/22, while Week 9 (for Classes A and B) will be Oct. 28/29. Playoffs for C-1 through D-2 start on Oct. 27th (I think), while A and B start the following week. Reason is that C-1 through D-2 have 32 qualifiers for playoffs, while A and B only have 16.

Playoffs conclude weekend before Thanksgiving (Nov. 19/20) with the state finals at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln (the Huskers have a bye week so the high school finals are that weekend).

Iowa:

Week 1 was Sept. 2-4, while there were a few teams that played the previous weekend. Again, some odd numbers in some classes caused this I believe. Last week of regular season is Oct. 28/29. Playoffs start the following week, with championships in Cedar Falls at the UNI Dome the same weekend as Nebraska's finals.
