The Top 25 in Texas High School football remained mostly unchanged this week. 

Dallas-Fort Worth area teams make up a majority of the Top 10 and will be have one of the best games in the state this week: Allen vs. Prosper.

Down the road in Austin, Austin Lake Travis vs. Austin Westlake will be another key game among Top 25-ranked teams.

With weather forecast calling for bad storms on Friday, almost every Dallas-area team is playing Thursday instead of Friday.

Here’s a look at who we think are the Top 25 teams in the state heading into Week 9.
