It was another wild and crazy week in the unpredictable world of eight-player football in Iowa high school football.

While top-ranked Bishop Garrigan took care of business, No. 2 Woodbine showed why they are right on the heels of the Golden Bears by handling Fremont-Mills, 54-12. 

Fremont-Mills earned the initial top position in the Iowa Associated Press poll, but had no chance against Woodbine. 

Audubon took the spot of Fremont-Mills in the Top 8 this week.

As a way to separate 11-player from eight-player, here are the High School on SI Iowa High School Football Week 4 Eight-Player Top 8:
