Mississippi High School Football Top 25 State Rankings - Dec. 1, 2025

Tupelo will look to repeat as the Class 7A state champions when they take on Gulfport this weekend

Tupelo vs Desoto Central from Nov. 6, 2025 / Wes Hale

With one week left in the Mississippi high school football season, it is time to take a look at the top 25 state rankings as we get ready for the state championships this week.

West Point and Tupelo maintain their positions at the #1 and #2 in the rankings with the winner most likely finishing as the top team in the state. However, even if West Point does lose in their state championship game and Tupelo wins, the Green Wave have a case to still finish as the top ranked team in the state. Their main argument is that they have the head-to-head win over the Golden Wave.

As we take a look at the rest of the top five, Columbia would have a case to be ranked #1 if they are able to finish the season at 15-0.

Meanwhile, Gulfport takes on Tupelo and Kosciusko will take on Columbia this weekend. So, therefore each team has a stake to finish first atop the final rankings, and the wonderful thing about this is that this will all be sorted out on the field.

Meanwhile, Warren Central will play Hattiesburg with the winner of this 6A state championship game most likely claiming a stake in the top five.

As we round out the top 10, the winner of Noxubee County versus Raleigh will find themselves inside the top 10 in the final rankings, and Heidelberg will also finish in the top 10 with a win over East Webster.
