The South Carolina high school football state playoffs are underway and a pair of second round upsets have juggled this week's Top 25 state rankings.

James Island has moved up to No. 9 after knocking off then-No. 5 Sumter, which fell to No. 24. In addition, Camden joined this week's rankings, at No. 23, by ending the season of then-No. 15 Daniel with a 52-14 blowout of the Lions.

Also new this week is No. 25 Powdersville which took advantage of a loss by previous No. 25 Abbeville.

This week could see more shakeups as several Top 25 teams go head-to-head, including No. 1 South Point going against No. 14 A.C. Flora. In addition, No. 6 Loris and No. 7 Newberry square off and No. 11 North Augusta visits No. 8 South Florence.
