In Oklahoma high school football, the highest level of play is Class 6AI.

For the most part, it’s a class that over decades has been dominated by the Tulsa-area schools, mainly Tulsa Union and Jenks. An East Side team has won the highest level of football in the state since 1995.

Broken Arrow and Owasso have also enjoyed success in recent years. And then of course, Bixby has become the premier program in the state with a current run of eight straight state titles, the last four coming in 6AI after the Spartans were elevated there prior to the 2022 season.

So it can’t be too surprising that a handful of 6AI teams from the East Side are among the higher ranked squads in the High School On SI Oklahoma Top 25. Four of those “Big Five” schools are among the Top 12, and the one that isn’t ranked, Tulsa Union, reeled off five straight wins after an 0-4 start before falling to Owasso in Week 10.

It may be more of the same in 6AI again, with a Tulsa-area team likely traveling back from Edmond on Interstate 44 bringing a gold ball trophy back with them. But with the playoffs approaching, anything is possible.

With the opening week of the playoffs finally upon us, here are the updated rankings:

PREVIOUS: PRESEASON | WK 0 | WK 1 | WK 2 | WK 3 | WK 4 | WK 5 | WK 6 | WK 7 | WK 8 | WK 9 | WK 10

1. Broken Arrow (10-0)

Previous rank: 1

In the midst of the Miami Dolphins’ fabled perfect season in 1972, Earl Morrall replaced regular injured starter Bob Griese at quarterback and helped them stay afloat. A similar comparison can be made for junior quarterback Javen Crowley, who took over for an injured Shamar Banner and had five total TDs to help BA stave off an upset bid from Edmond North before winning 56-39. Banner is expected to be good to go for the Tigers’ quarterfinal playoff game.

Up Next: Opening-round bye in the 6AI playoffs

2. Midwest City Carl Albert (10-0)

Previous rank: 2

Consistency remains a hallmark for the Titans, who now have won a state record 63 straight games. In their last five games, they have scored 41, 49, 47, 49 and 49 points, the latter a 49-13 win at Lawton.

Up Next: vs. Shawnee in the opening round of the 5A playoffs, 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13

3. Bixby (9-1)

Previous rank: 3

The Spartans got a rebound win following their loss to Broken Arrow, beating Southmoore, 63-7. Now they’re determined to make it five straight 6AI gold balls, though the Spartans will have to wait a week to start their postseason run.

Up Next: Opening-round bye in the 6AI playoffs

4. Elgin (10-0)

Previous rank: 4

A very impressive debut season in Class 5A for the Owls, who achieved regular-season perfection with a 41-7 win against Shawnee. Can they be the team to end Carl Albert’s longtime reign over the 5A landscape?

Up Next: vs. Midwest City in the opening round of the 5A playoffs, 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13

5. Tuttle (9-1)

Previous rank: 5

In a showdown for the 4A-2 district title, it was all Tuttle in a 41-6 victory against Woodward. The Tigers now get set to begin their playoff run toward repeating as 4A champions.

Up Next: vs. Woodward in the opening round of the 4A playoffs, 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13

6. Lincoln Christian (9-1)

Previous rank: 6

The Bulldogs blitzed their way through District 2A-I-3, scoring 296 points in their last five games, including a 58-12 home win against Roland. Last season’s 3A state champs now attempt to turn the trick in 2A-I.

Up Next: vs. Sequoyah-Claremore in the opening round of the 2A-I playoffs, 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13

8. Sulphur (9-1)

Can the third time be the charm for the Bulldogs, who came up short in the Class 3A title game each of the past two seasons? They entered the playoffs after downing Pauls Valley, 55-0.

Up Next: vs. Oklahoma Christian School in the opening round of the 3A playoffs, 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13

9. Sallisaw (10-0)

Previous rank: 9

It will be a drive remembered forever in the annals of Black Diamond football, an 11-play, 94-yard march that ended with a go-ahead TD from Gunner Griffey with 50 seconds left, lifting Sallisaw to a 24-21 win at Poteau and a perfect 10-0 regular season, Sallisaw’s first in 25 years. The 4A-4 champions return home to start its postseason ride.

Up Next: vs. Grove in the opening round of the 4A playoffs, 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13

10. Broken Bow (9-1)

Previous rank: 10

11. OKC Bishop McGuinness (9-1)

12. Owasso (7-3)

Previous rank: 12

The second half of the regular season was a lot better for the Rams than the first half. Owasso entered its sixth game at 2-3 before reeling off five straight wins, capped by a 39-22 home victory against Tulsa Union that decided the No. 2 seed in 6AI-2. Even better, the Rams get a bye into next week’s quarterfinals.

Up Next: Opening-round bye in the 6AI playoffs

13. Choctaw (8-2)

Previous rank: 13

In six road victories this season, the Yellowjackets scored 264 points, including 63 in last week’s 63-6 win at Lawton Eisenhower. They will start the 6AII playoffs at home, however, though Choctaw went a combined 138-0 in its last two home games.

Previous rank: 14

The Pioneers went a perfect 5-0 in 6AII-2 play, punctuated by a 76-12 win against Bartlesville last week for the district title.

Up Next: Opening-round bye in the 6AII playoffs

15. Jones (9-1)

Previous rank: 15

Griffith is also four TDs away from setting the state’s all-time record for combined passing and rushing scores.
