The high school basketball playoffs have already started for the small schools, with the medium and large schools not far behind.

Regional tournaments for Classes A and B are this week, with Classes 2A, 3A and 4A playing district playoffs this weekend and Classes 5A and 6A starting regionals next week. While pairings are set, there's still plenty to gain from winning games at the end of the regular season.

Here are this week's SBLive Oklahoma Top 25 boys basketball rankings.
