There was little movement in this week's South Carolina Top 25 rankings as every team in last week's rankings, except, two won and the two that lost fell to higher ranked programs.

The two Top showdowns featured No. 2 South Pointe rolling past then No. 19 Camden, 28-7, and then No. 20 Stratford topping then-No. 24 Berkeley, 21-17. Stratford climbed up to No. 19, Camden fell to No. 25 and Berkeley slipped out of the Top 25. Swansea, which moved to 7-0 with a 31-22 win over Keenan replaced Berkeley and enters at No. 24.
