Oklahoma High School Football Top 25 Rankings: Top 10 Receives Huge Shakeup With Many Teams Off This Week

Last week, the top three teams in the High School On SI Top 25 Oklahoma high school football rankings all won.
However, the next five ranked squads all lost.
So, with many teams enjoying a bye this week with district play coming next week, who else has joined the reconfigured Top 10 after last week’s shakeup?
Read on further, as here are this week’s rankings:
PREVIOUS: PRESEASON | WK 0 | WK 1 | WK 2
1. Bixby (3-0)
Previous rank: 1
The Spartans scored 53 fewer points last week against Jenks than they did in last year’s game against the Trojans. But the results are still the same - another Spartan win, 13-6.
Up Next: Idle this week
2. Midwest City Carl Albert (3-0)
Previous rank: 2
Make it 56 straight for the Titans, who survived a rock fight with Bishop McGuinness, scoring a late defensive touchdown to pull away for a 20-8 win. Carl Albert can get to within one game of tying Bixby’s all-time 11-man state record winning streak with a win this week against a nearby rival.
Up Next: at Del City on Friday, Sept. 18
3. Broken Arrow (3-0)
Previous rank: 3
The Tigers got a momentum-changing pick-six to end the first half against Owasso; then scored three straight TDs to open up the second half en route to a 43-22 win.
Up Next: Idle this week
4. Muskogee (3-0)
Previous rank: 12
Down 21-0 at halftime to Claremore, the Roughers stormed back to prevail, 28-24, on a 15-yard TD pass from Brayden McMullen to Anthony McNac with 1:08 remaining.

5. Broken Bow (3-0)
Previous rank: 10
The Savages christened their new turf surface at Memorial Stadium in grand style with a 50-0 win against longtime McCurtain County rival Idabel. It will be a while before they test out that turf again, as Broken Bow is off this week and then has a huge district showdown at Sallisaw the week after.
Up Next: Idle this week
6. Elgin (3-0)
Previous rank: 21
Talk about sweet revenge. The Owls avenged last season’s tough defeat to the Tigers in the Class 4A title game with a 28-14 home win. Quarterback Cayden Belletto threw two TD passes and ran for another in the third quarter that broke a 7-all tie.
Up Next: at Cache on Friday, Sept. 18
7. Tuttle (2-1)
Previous rank: 5
The Tigers dropped a 28-14 decision to Elgin in a rematch of last season’s Class 4A championship game. But with the Owls now in 5A, Tuttle doesn’t have to worry about seeing them this postseason.
Up Next: Idle this week

It will be a game that the Fighting Irish will think about for a while, as they had their chances to take down Carl Albert.
Up Next: Idle this week
14. Mustang (2-1)
Previous rank: 14
It was a classic bounce-back game for the Broncos, who rebounded from their stunning loss to Yukon with a decisive 44-6 win against Norman. They’ll enjoy it for another week, but next week, the Broncos will welcome in Bixby for the district opener.
