While there are modest changes across this week’s top five polls, we’ve titled Week 7 as “separation week” as several matchups between undefeated and ranked teams will help decide league and district championships and help establish the favorites for the upcoming playoffs.
Visit our Rankings page and check out this week’s Top 5 polls in each classification!
Class 6A
There is no change in this week’s Class 6A poll as each of the top five teams posted victories by at least four touchdowns. Top-ranked Mill Valley used a 295-yard performance from Max Piva to defeat Shawnee Mission North, 58-13. The Bison entered the contest at 4-1 on the season. This week, the Jaguars take on Olathe West (4-2). Find out how the rest of the poll shapes up this week at the link below!
