It is time to look at the final high school football top 25 state rankings for the state of Alabama.

This season has been filled with thrilling games, exciting upsets and electrifying players, and championship weekend was no different. After entering the season ranked first in the preseason rankings, Thompson suffered three losses in the regular season, and the season was looking less than ideal for the Warriors. However, they were able to right the ship, and their season culminated with a dominant 48-10 win over Opelika in the 7A state championship.

Jackson and Moody remained at 4 and 5 after they each won the state championship in their respective classifications.

The last big jump in the final poll this season belongs to Mars Hill Bible after their 17-point win over Bayside Academy in the 3A state championship.
