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

Now, we break it down by region.

After last week’s shakeup to the Midwest Region rankings, this week was fairly quiet. All 10 ranked teams won, as did most of the teams under consideration.

However, there are a couple of interesting matchups next week that could lead to  changes in the rankings. 

No. 6 St. Edward faces Archbishop Moeller, the former No. 1 team in Ohio, in a clash of Buckeye State titans. Meanwhile, a couple of interstate showdowns feature No. 5 Elder traveling to Indianapolis to face 7-1 Bishop Chatard, while No. 8 Archbishop Hoban takes on unbeaten Central York of Pennsylvania.

Here’s a look at our Top 10 teams in the Midwest Region (Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin).
