National High School Football Rankings: Top 25 Teams – Oct. 13

The national high school football rankings via Massey Ratings, has seen a consistent No. 1 at the top for three weeks in a row: Bixby Spartans of Oklahoma.

The Spartans remain the country’s top team, followed by St. John Bosco (Calif.) Braves andSouthlake Carroll(TX) at No. 3. Florida’s No. 1 IMG Academy and Georgia power Buford are No. 4-5, respectively. Which other teams were able to crack into the national rankings this week?

As the regular season begins to wind down around the country, teams around the nation continue their quest for the all mythical national crown.

The Massey Ratings, officially used during the BCS era, is a model that ranks sports teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.

Here is the latest National high school football Top 25 rankings, according to Massey as of Oct. 13.

1. Bixby (Okla.) (6-0)

There’s a new sheriff in town when it comes to the top team in the country and that program resides out of the state of Oklahoma as the Bixby Spartans (6-0) claimed the No. 1 spot for the third week in a row.

The Spartans have been unstoppable on offense, averaging a 62.1 points per game.

Senior quarterback Carson Kirby has been a steady hand behind center for Bixby, with the passer completing 91 of 121 passes for 1,473 yards, 21 touchdowns and just one interception. The Spartans have remained the top team out of Oklahoma and should run the table to a 10-0 regular season record with the way they’re playing.

Next up, Bixby returns home this week against winless Enid (0-5).

2. St. John Bosco (Calif.) (6-0)

After playing their toughest challenge of the season against St. Frances Academy (Md.) in a 21-14 victory a few weeks ago, St. John Bosco (6-0) had looked like they are in the proverbial driver’s seat to take the No. 1 spot after Bishop Gorman’s loss to rival Mater Dei.

The Braves’ latest win in the record books was a 48-0 beatdown of Orange Lutheran (Calif.) on the road, adding to the pile of evidence that they are the No. 1 team in the nation.

Through the first couple of weeks of the regular season, St. John Bosco only got to play two quarters against Manatee (Fla.), coming away with a 31-0 victory, the Braves returned home and routed Texas’ Eastwood 66-7.

The Braves plays the most brutal stretch of games in the final three of any team in the country. St. John Bosco goes on the road to face Santa Margarita Catholic before two home games versus Servite and rival Mater Dei on Halloween.

3. Southlake Carroll (Texas) (7-0)

The top-ranked team from the Lone Star State in these latest national high school football rankings are once again the undefeated Southlake Carroll Dragons after they romped another opponent, defeating Eaton in a 66-7 victory.

There’s little question that Southlake Carroll (7-0) might be playing the best football of the season behind the play of their high-octane offense. Leading the way is Pittsburgh commit Angelo Renda and Ohio State pledge Brock Boyd, with the pair fueling a Dragons’ offense that’s averaging 52 points per game this season.

Southlake Carroll has a chance to improve to 8-0 when they take on Northwest at home on Thursday night.

4. IMG Academy (Fla.) (7-0)

One thing has been made very clear this 2025 season: IMG Academy is not the same group from last year.

If you had any doubts of the Ascenders, look at their last three contests. Against Coronado (Nev.), Mandarin (Fla.), Phenix City Central (Ala.) and Venice (Fla.), with IMG Academy winning by a combined score of 212-41. Oof.

Sophomore four-star quarterback Jayden Wade was perfect in a recent outing against Phenix City Central, completing all 11 of his passes for 350 yards and four touchdowns.

The Ascenders is coming off a bye week and will be taking on the NFL Academy this Friday night.

5. Buford (Ga.) (6-0)

Are the Buford Wolves the prohibitive favorite to win Georgia’s Class 6A high school football classification?

The Wolves improved to 6-0 last week after a 58-7 defeat of Dacula, the latest blowout win in their march towards an undefeated campaign. If there is a team that seems primed to knock Grayson off of its pedestal, it looks like Buford would be that threat.

One of the top defensive front sevens in the Peach State resides in Buford, as they feature four-star edge rushers Bryce Perry-Wright (Texas A&M) and Dre Quinn (Clemson) along with four-star safety Tyriq Green (Georgia). Through five games, the defense has only yielded 74 points and has shown they can play with the best of ‘em.

Buford takes aim at 7-0 on Friday night when they clash with Central Gwinnett.

6. Allen (Texas) (6-0)

Other than Southlake Carroll, no other Texas team has been as consistent as the Allen Eagles lately. The Eagles latest blowout victory was a 62-14 dismantling of Princeton.

Allen (6-0) has been able to run through the opposing competition with ease, as they showed in a recent victory over a previously undefeated Plano group, 56-0. The offense has been sizzling behind the play of Arizona three-star wide receiver commit Caleb Smith (30 catches, 480 yards) and crew.

The Eagles look to remain undefeated when they face off against Plano West (5-2) at home.

7. Grayson (Ga.) (7-0)

Grayson posted another dominant performance last week when they cruised past Rockdale County, 58-10.

The loss of quarterback Travis Burgess for the rest of the season was a massive blow, but don’t tell the Grayson that it’s going to hold them back whatsoever. Grayson has done just fine, however, out-scoring opponents 362-71 through seven contests.

Texas five-star commit Tyler Atkinson has been playing very well for the Rams in the front seven, racking up 37 tackles, 10 for a loss and five sacks.

The Rams have a bye week before they take the field again on Oct. 24 against South Gwinnett on the road.

8. St. Frances Academy (Md.) (4-1)

St. Frances Academy (3-1) returned to inside of the Top 10 of the latest set of rankings after defeating The First Academy, 37-0, and followed it up with another shutout win, a 60-0 beatdown of St. Thomas More (Conn.).

The Panthers have leaned on Virginia commit Jae’Oyn Williams and 2027 running back Sa’Nir Brooks, as the pair helped them cruise past Chaminade-Madonna Prep at the Broward County Classic High School Football Showcase to begin the season. Only loss of the season thus far came against St. John Bosco (Calif.) on the road.

What separates St. Frances Academy from many of the nation’s elites is the play of their defense, led by five-star edge rusher Zion Elee, who is a Maryland commitment. Next up for the Panthers is a home game against Hun School (N.J.).

9. Carrollton (Ga.) (7-0)

The Carrollton Trojans continued their undefeated season with another blowout victory, a 56-7 rout of Chapel Hill last week.

The latest example of Carrollton’s dominance against one of the Southeast’s elite programs was a 43-7 rout of A.H. Parker of Alabama a couple weeks ago. There’s a lot to like about this Trojans club as they remain undefeated and rolling.

Some thought that with Julian Lewis gone and some graduations, losses on the roster from the 2024 team that Carrollton might not be where they were last fall. Well, think again. Another example of the Trojans being a national powerhouse was a 43-21 beatdown of Gainesville.

The Trojans will hit the road this Friday to take on East Coweta.

10. Bishop Gorman (Nev.) (7-1)

The Bishop Gorman Gaels make their way back into the Top 10 after a 58-0 thumping of Mojave last week.

After a 27-24 loss to Mater Dei last month, the Gaels followed it up with a 14-0 road victory in California against Carson Palmer’s Santa Margarita Catholic bunch. Now looking back at that win, it makes Bishop Gorman look better and better as each day goes by.

The Gaels finish out the regular season against winless Somerset Academy Losee and Shadow Ridge.
