The Super 25 high school football rankings have shifted significantly in Week 5, with Texas and California programs making notable gains. Allen moved from No. 11 to No. 6 after securing a 56-35 victory over Southlake Carroll. The Eagles began the season unranked and have climbed rapidly thanks to wins against Duncanville, DeSoto, and the Dragons.
In California, Mater Dei advanced from No. 14 to No. 9 by defeating Centennial 10-9. The Monarchs, based in Santa Ana, earned what was described as the best win of their season, altering the competitive landscape in the state ahead of a scheduled matchup with Bishop Gorman.
Baylor in Chattanooga, Tennessee, also improved its standing, rising from No. 13 to No. 13 (remaining in place but gaining momentum) after beating Trinity of Louisville, Kentucky, 35-27. Running back David Gabriel Georges contributed 315 yards and five touchdowns in the win.
St. Thomas Aquinas of Fort Lauderdale remains at the top of the rankings with a 4-0 record after shutting out Dillard 49-0. IMG Academy holds the No. 2 spot, also undefeated, though it did not play last week. St. Frances Academy in Baltimore stays at No. 3 with a 40-7 win over Bryant.
Other top-tier movements include Santa Margarita holding at No. 5 with a 41-0 shutout of Inderkum, and Buford remaining at No. 4 after a narrow 18-7 victory over Central of Florida. Columbus dropped from No. 6 to No. 7 despite beating Palmetto 34-7, likely due to its first loss of the season.
Thompson of Alabaster remains at No. 8 with a 48-14 win over Spain Park. Bishop Gorman of Las Vegas slipped from No. 9 to No. 10 after defeating Lone Peak 38-14, while St. John Bosco fell from No. 10 to No. 11 following a 49-13 win over Kahuku.
