The High School on SI/SB Live Week Texas high school football Week 3 poll had a few changes.

It was pretty chalky last week with most of the Top 25 teams picking up wins. Two teams did not, but that came at the hands of another team in the Top 25. One new team enters, while a Top 25 team fell out after Week 3. Check out how we thought of the top teams in the state stack up.
