I think in Michigan it's a 9 game regular season so we can still have 32 team brackets for playoffs and still be done by Thanksgiving weekend. To make it 10 we'd have to start even earlier in the summer. And I think that you've answered the OP's question. If I'm not mistaken, the OP is from a state that also finishes its playoffs by Thanksgiving.

REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TEAMS MAKING THE PLAYOFFS!!! That is the key to it. Playoffs should be difficult to get to and an honor to do so.And not just in California! And not just in football! And not just in interscholastic sports! (And from what I've heard lately, not just in the USA!)

In Minnesota we play eight regular season and if you make it to the title game you’ll play 13 or 14 games. Some sections award a first round bye to the top 1-2 seeds because those sections don’t have a nice easy to divide eight teams.

Why do high school football seasons include 9 games? Why not an even 10? Is there some reason that the season is 9 games long? We have 11

Eastern Massachusetts -7 regular season games (this year you can play an extra but won't count) *playoffs 4-5 rounds based on Division, some include Western and Central Mass some don't, Week 8-on til week after Thanksgiving -Win - move on -If/when you lose, you enter a pool with playoff losers and non playoff qualifiers. Between end of regular season and Thankgiving you can play up to 3 games (playoff teams have to play an extra). Matchups are arranged on a weekly based on what playoff teams lose to enter the pool. Matchups are based on location, competitiveness, tradition. Released ever Sunday *non playoff teams will play 3 games, opponent first week is among those teams. Weeks 9 and 10 the playoff losers are added to the pool and matchups determined, released every Sunday -Thanksgiving Game - everyone plays it, unless you are in state title game following week, it is the season finale -11 total games (12 or 13 if you win state based on Division)
-Central/Western Mass similar but they might have 8 regular season games, not sure
