High School on SI Southeast Region Football Rankings — Oct. 21, 2025

We recently released our High School on SI Power 25 national high school football rankings.
Now, we break it down by region.
Just like the national Power 25 saw very little movement this week, the Southeast Region rankings stayed the same, with the eight teams in action winning by an average margin of 34.5 points.
However, we’ll see how the three Florida teams fare this week as they face opponents that should push them.
Meanwhile, No. 9 Baylor faces Ensworth this week in a matchup of Tennessee powers. The Tigers already beat McCallie 20-10 earlier this year and would love nothing more than to hand the Red Raiders their first loss.
Here’s a look at our Top 10 teams in the Southeast Region (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky).
