If the regular season was any indication of what's just around the corner, then the playoffs are going to be an amazing, thrill-ride for Orange County football fans.

So you'd better buckle up.

The first round of games is loaded with great matchups, beginning Thursday night and wrapping up Saturday night. That's three days of guaranteed great football action.

And in case you've missed any of it, look for the links to all of the other playoff coverage we've put together this week, including daily additions to our "Best from the Regular Season" lists and Steve Fryer's predictions.
