SBLive/Sports Illustrated Top 25 national high school football rankings: It's Duncanville-DeSoto week (10/23/2023)
Is another major shakeup of the SBLive/Sports Illustrated Power 25 national high school football rankings on the horizon?
It could happen next week in the aftermath of one of the most anticipated games of the season: No. 5 Duncanville vs. No. 7 DeSoto in a showdown of Texas powerhouses.
The Power 25 saw little movement this week, with only Miami Norland meriting a bump following a second consecutive victory over a defending state champion — this time, former Power 25 team Columbus in the GMAC Championship game.
Power 25 teams in four states — Michigan, Ohio, Nevada and Hawaii — are in their postseasons, with several other states (including California) finishing their regular seasons this week.
Here’s the complete breakdown of our Week 11 SBLive/SI Power 25 national high school football rankings.
