Mountain West Top 25 High School Football Rankings (Sept. 15, 2026)

The top six teams in this week’s High School On SI Mountain West Top 25 football rankings all had comfortable weeks, with Corner Canyon leading the way as it remained atop the rankings with a 52-7 rout of Eastwood of El Paso, Texas.

However, with the teams in Utah’s 6A Region 3 about to start league play this week, including the Chargers taking on No. 8 Lone Peak in their annual matchup, we’ll start seeing some shaking up of the top half of the rankings.

The only Top 10 team to lose last week was Star Valley (WY), which saw its 35-game win streak end with a 27-14 loss to Sugar-Salem (ID). The Braves fell four spots to No. 11 as a season-opening trek that saw them travel to Alaska, then twice to Southern Idaho, came to an end.

The bottom half of the rankings saw three teams drop out, with Eagle (ID), Mountain View (ID) and Alta (UT) making way for newcomers Hurricane (UT), Sheridan (WY) and Box Elder (UT).

Here are this week’s Mountain West high school football Top 25 rankings, bringing together the best teams from Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota.
