Oregon High School Football Top 25 State Rankings (Oct. 19, 2026)

One top-five team survived an upset bid, while another lost in a matchup of Top 15 teams to shake up this week’s Oregon High School Football Top 25 State Rankings.

No. 2 Nelson needed some last-minute heroics to get past Central Catholic 20-19 in a Mt. Hood Conference thriller.

Meanwhile, Dallas knocked off Silverton 17-14 to move up five spots to No. 10 while knocking the Foxes down to No. 11 as the top of the 5A Mid-Willamette Conference standings turned into a three-team merry-go-round including No. 13 West Albany.

Two teams dropped out of the rankings this week, with Grants Pass and South Salem falling out to make way for Aloha (No. 22) and Ida B. Wells (No. 23).
