Allen quarterback Ty Snell rolls out to pass during the Eagles’ 26-7 win over Duncanville (8/28/26).
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.

FIELD POSITION: 2026 VYPE DFW Football Rankings — Week 5 | Southlake Carroll, Coppell, Argyle Are Heating Up
The path to a district championship won’t be easy for DeSoto (2-2), with the Eagles set to face Lancaster and Cedar Hill in the coming weeks. Still, opening the gauntlet by thwarting Burleson Centennial, 29-3, should give the defending state champs plenty of momentum heading into the stretch.
Southlake Carroll (2-2) remains firmly in the Top 10 after an impressive 35-17 win over Keller Central, handing the Chargers their first loss of the fall and signaling that the Dragons intend to flex their muscle well beyond November.
Guyer, Lewisville, and Lone Star will return from bye weeks and get back into action with crucial district matchups. Meanwhile, Argyle (3-1) climbs the rankings after lighting up the scoreboard against Highland Park, defeating the Scots, 70-37, on Friday night.
The runway is getting shorter, and the room for mistakes is narrowing with it.
