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.

FIELD POSITION: 2026 VYPE DFW Football Rankings — Week 6 | Allen Keeps Rolling; Martin Enters Top 20
The 5A ranks feature plenty of movement as well. Lone Star remains unbeaten at 4-0 after outlasting Melissa in a 35-30 classic, while Argyle also moves up following a convincing win over Grapevine. Anna, Celina, Timberview and McKinney North continue to add depth to an increasingly competitive classification.
Perhaps the most impactful result of the week, however, came from Arlington Martin. The Warriors’ 35-21 victory over perennial state contender Aledo could prove to be a defining moment this fall, and their perfect 5-0 start earns them a debut in the Top 20 alongside McKinney North (4-0). With most of the top teams taking the week off, the spotlight now shifts to those still in action.
The Arlington Martin Warriors break into the Top 20 after defeating Aledo, 35-21, last Friday.
