No changes among the top teams in the MaxPreps Regional Football Computer Rankings, although there were several teams that debuted for the first time this year.
Both Dobyns-Bennett and Glenbard West upped their records to 11-0 on the season and entered the rankings for the first time, Dobyns-Bennett in the South and Glenbard West in the Midwest.
Weather made it difficult to play in the Northeast resulting in little change in that region of the country.
The regional rankings are based on the MaxPreps Freeman Computer Rankings.MaxPreps Regional Football Computer Rankings
