We had three ties in our rankings this week among our four voters, and two of them came at the top.

If you want to unseat someone, kind of like the Ryder Cup, you have to beat them, not just tie. While we saw some shake up in 11-man and 8-man, our 6-man rankings remain the same.

With only one team in our rankings playing last week, there isn’t any change to the Top 5s. But we’ve got a full schedule Thursday and Friday for the official start of high school football season in Week 1.
