The 10th ranking for the Texas high school football season is out. 

Here’s a look at who we think will be the Top 25 teams in the state heading into the final week of the regular season for UIL teams and the start of the playoffs for TAPPS schools.

There is no changes in terms of the Top 25 teams, however some teams dropped and some teams moved up based on wins last week.

Three Texas teams are in the High School On SI Power 25 National High School Football Rankings. That is one less than last week.
