We recently released our High School on SI Power 25 national high school football rankings.

Now, we break it down by region.

While there was slight shuffling in the national ranking for a couple of Southeast Region teams, the top 10 remained unchanged heading into the final weeks of the regular season.

IMG Academy maintained its hold atop the rankings after beating one of Illinois’ top teams, East St. Louis.

There are several big-time matchups this week, headlined by No. 5 St. Thomas Aquinas playing host to No. 7 Chaminade-Madonna. Buford takes on Mill Creek in a Georgia powerhouse game, while Edna Karr-John Curtis Christian is a matchup of Louisiana unbeatens.

Here’s a look at our Top 10 teams in the Southeast Region (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky).
