National High School Football Rankings: Top 25 Teams - Nov. 24

The Rivals’ National High School Football Top 25 Rankings via Massey Ratings for the third consecutive week in a row sees Oklahoma’s top ranked Bixby Spartans at the No. 1 spot.

The undefeated Spartans kept in rolling last week in Oklahoma’s OHSAA Class 6A by cruising to a 51-14 win over Union. Following Bixby through the No. 2 through 5 spots are IMG Academy, Southlake Carroll, Allen and Aledo. Which other programs were able to make the leap this week into the national top 25 rankings?

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 Nov. 24.

1. Bixby (Okla.) (11-0)

The Bixby Spartans (11-0) started off the OHSAA Class 6A playoffs with a 51-14 rout of Union last week and now will take on the state’s No. 4 ranked team in Broken Arrow this Friday night.

The Spartans have been unstoppable on offense, averaging 64 points per game, as they throughly dominated on their way to an undefeated 10-0 2025 campaign and now a postseason victory.

Senior quarterback Carson Kirby has been a steady hand behind center for Bixby, with the passer completing 157 of 223 passes for 2,514 yards and 35 touchdowns. The Spartans have remained the top team out of Oklahoma and are looking to win an eighth consecutive Oklahoma state championship.

2. Southlake Carroll (TX) (12-0)

Southlake Carroll (12-0) have made it look too easy through the first couple of rounds of the Class 6A, Division II playoffs, winning the first two games by a combined score of 107-7. This week will pose a challenge when they take on No. 23 ranked Prosper.

There’s little question that Southlake Carroll 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 over 50 points per game this season.

3. IMG Academy (Fla.) (9-0)

IMG Academy (9-0) looked on track to face rival St. Frances Academy (Md.) in what many feel like would be a de facto national high school football championship game.

All of that changed course as the Ascenders announced they would not be rescheduling their game against their rivals out of Baltimore. Now is IMG Academy’s undefeated record for the opponents they faced enough to get them close enough to the top?

For high school football fans, this definitely a loss as folks were looking forward to what kind of matchup it would’ve been on a national high school football stage. The Ascenders’ season is officially over.

4. Allen (TX) (12-0)

Other than Southlake Carroll, no other Texas high school football team has been more consistent than the Allen Eagles. The Eagles’ latest win, however, was anything but comfortable as they needed their defense to step up in order to advance in the third round of the UIL’s Class 6A, Division I playoffs.

The Eagles (12-0) in the opening round just narrowly got by Lewisville in a 22-15 battle that went all the way down to the wire. Allen was able to bounce back in the second round with a 41-7 throttling of Lake Highlands and will this week take on Permian.

The offense has been sizzling behind the play of the wide receiving tandem Arizona three-star commit Caleb Smith (65 catches, 800 yards) and Carter Harris (28 catches, 900 yards).

5. Aledo (TX) (12-0)

The Aledo Bearcats (12-0) streak of scoring 70-plus points in five straight games ended in a 42-0 victory over Tascosa in the second round of the UIL Class 5A, Division I playoffs.

When it comes to red hot teams out of the Lone Star State, Aledo is a team that has been rolling offensively behind a slew of playmakers on the offensive end. The Bearcats this season has been humming on offense and averaging a sizzling 52 points per game.

Next up for the Bearcats is a third round tilt with Arlington Heights.

6. Corner Canyon (UT) (12-1)

Corner Canyon (12-1) concluded their 2025 Utah high school football season with a 35-20 win over Lone Peak for the 6A crown. The Chargers got a huge performance from running back Wyatt Briggs, who rushed for 174 yards and four touchdowns in the victory.

What was unveiled a day later was the Chargers will be facing No. 11 ranked St. Frances Academy (Md.) for the first-ever Overtime Nationals high school football championship on Dec. 10 in Baltimore. If Corner Canyon pulls off the win, are the Chargers the best team in the country?

Texas A&M commitment Helaman Casuga has been the engine to make the Chargers’ offense go this season as he’s completed 210 of 307 passes for 3,487 yards and 37 touchdowns.

7. Buford (Ga.) (12-0)

Buford Wolves have shown time and time again that they’re viable favorites to win Georgia’s Class 6A high school football classification this season.

The Wolves improved to 10-0 a few weeks ago after a 35-3 win over a very good Mill Creek team and followed it up with wins over Richmond Hill and Newton to start the 6A postseason. 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 nine games, the defense has only yielded 115 points and has shown they can play with the best of ‘em.

Buford (12-0) have a heavyweight fight on their hands this week when they take on state title contender Douglas County in the third round.

8. Duncanville (TX) (9-1)

Making their way back into the Top 10 of the national rankings this week are the Duncanville Panthers (9-1) after they rolled to a 43-6 victory over Rockwall-Heath in the second round of the UIL Class 6A, Division I playoffs.

If there’s more supporting evidence to believe this Duncanville team could make a serious run to the state championship, it’s because of the improved play of their defense, behind Ole Miss commitment Landon Barnes (17.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks).

Now the Panthers will look to keep the momentum going in the third round when they take on Klein Collins this Friday night.

9. Carrollton (Ga.) (12-0)

A team that could really stake its case to be the nation’s best this week is the Carrollton Trojans as they take on Grayson (see below) in the third round of the Georgia Class 6A playoffs. Win this week and the talk surrounds the Trojans’ making a case for the mythical national championship.

The Trojans are coming off a dominating 51-6 victory over Harrison in the second round of the postseason and have averaged well over 50 points per game through their first two playoff games. If there’s a team in Georgia to watch out for, Carrollton is one to continue and keep an eye on.

Carrollton has received tremendous play from the backfield duo of freshman quarterback Christian Cypher (1,804 yards, 24 touchdowns) and running back Cameron Wood (1,185 yards, 28 touchdowns).

10. Grayson (Ga.) (12-0)

The Grayson Rams (12-0) in the second round of the Georgia Class 6A playoffs soundly defeated one of South Georgia’s top teams, Colquitt County, 31-10. Now comes the major showdown with No. 9 Carrollton (see above) in the third round of the playoffs.

The Rams’ offense has been solid throughout the season, but it has been the elite play of their defense that has set them apart from other teams in the country.

Texas five-star commit Tyler Atkinson has been playing very well for the Rams in the front seven, racking up 91 tackles, 27 for a loss and 10 sacks.
