Similarly, previously unbeaten Celina (6-1) tumbles to No. 20 after being dealt its first loss of the year, courtesy of Frisco (5-2). The Raccoons, meanwhile, make their rankings debut at No. 19 after their 33-20 triumph over the Bobcats.
Those results have opened the door for several programs to climb the ladder, including Timberview (7-0), Lovejoy (7-1) and Walnut Grove (6-1).
At the top, Allen (7-0) and North Crowley (7-0) continue to set the pace, while the impending District 11-6A showdown between Waxahachie (6-1) and Duncanville (4-3) figures to have significant implications.
That being said, expect even more movement in the weeks ahead.

FIELD POSITION: 2026 VYPE DFW Football Rankings — Week 7 | SOC Turns It Up as Rivalry Week Begins
On a similar note, Lovejoy (6-0) is finally beginning to get the recognition it deserves, with the Leopards making their debut in the rankings as they approach a decisive matchup with Argyle (5-1) this Friday. The 5A ranks continue to offer plenty of intrigue, with several unbeaten teams now entering the stretch run with little room for error.
Keeping with the trend of pivotal clashes on the horizon, Waxahachie (5-0) will host North Crowley (5-0), DeSoto (3-2) travels to Lancaster (4-1), and Lewisville (2-3*) faces a major test against Guyer (4-1).
The prime-time tests are here — and the Top 20 could be due for some chaos.
