Please note, divisional placement in our poll is based on our Enrollment Projections done earlier this year. Divisional placement in the WIAA playoffs is not determined until after the season and these projections can and will be different than the divisions at the end of the year.

Big news in Division 1, as Mukwonago was upended by Kettle Moraine after several close calls the last couple weeks. That opens up the top spot in the rankings, and the division's lone unbeaten, Bay Port, takes over the number one position this week. Kimberly is up to second after handing Neenah its first loss, with Mukwonago third. Muskego is fourth, and Neenah lands at fifth. Oak Creek was shocked by Racine Park, but the Knights manage to hang in the rankings at number nine.

The top five remains unchanged, with Waunakee the top-ranked team. Kettle Moraine moves up two spots to sixth after taking down previously undefeated, D1 top-ranked Mukwonago. Badger enters the rankings at ninth this week, as Slinger falls out of the top ten after going down to Hartford.

No many changes in Division 3, with Monroe leading the way once again while fellow unbeaten Onalaska is second. New Berlin Eisenhower falls out of the rankings this week, with West Bend East moving in for the first time this season and likely in many years.

The top of the Division 4 rankings remain unchanged, with Catholic Memorial the unanimous number one, followed by Columbus, Little Chute, Ellsworth, and West Salem. Racine St. Catherine's dips a couple spots after suffering its first loss of the year, while Wisconsin Dells is new to this week's poll after a big win over Adams-Friendship.

Aquinas remains in the number one position of the Coaches Poll this week, as Mayville is second. The Cardinals take on Division 6 top-ranked Saint Mary's Springs for control of the Flyway Conference. Southern Door defeated Kewaunee for control of the Packerland Conference, and the Eagles move up two spots to fifth, while Kewaunee drops one position to sixth. Prairie du Chien is new this week, replacing the team they beat in Week 8, Brodhead/Juda.

Saint Mary's Springs not only won to stay atop the Division 6 Coaches Poll, but the Ledgers' victory over Lomira on Saturday gave legendary head coach Bob Hyland his 500th career win, the most in state history. It wasn't without a bit of controversy, as Hyland was ejected in the second half after receiving two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. Belleville fell to Darlington and the Wildcats slip two spots to sixth. Auburndale's defeat at the hands of Edgar slides the Eagles from seventh to ninth.

Regis is again the top-ranked squad in the Division 7 WisSports.net Football Coaches Poll. River Ridge, who had been unbeaten and ranked fourth, suffered its first loss of the season to Potosi/Cassville, and the Timberwolves fall all the way to tenth this week. Potosi/Cassville makes a jump from tenth to eighth. 

Newman Catholic continues to reign in the 8-Player Coaches Poll, followed the same top five of Saint Mary Catholic/Valley Christian, Owen-Withee, De Soto, and Thorp. Gilman dropped its second game of the season and falls out of the rankings, with Belmont entering at number ten.
