South Dakota Prep Media Football Poll for September 16, 2019

There has been another change at the top of the rankings in Class 11AAA after an O'Gorman win over Roosevelt.

Presidents Bowl at Howard Wood Field led to some more changes in the Class 11AAA rankings for this week. After getting blasted at Dakota Bowl, O'Gorman turned around and knocked down the top-ranked Roosevelt Rough Riders 27-20. Lincoln then followed up with a 37-7 win over Washington to knock the Warriors out of the top-five for the first time. Harrisburg is the only team in 11AAA that remains unbeaten, but it is Brandon Valley that is back at the top of the poll for this week.

Class 11AA only saw one change and that was Yankton falling to 5th after a 67-0 loss to Pierre. Yes, Yankton is still ranked in the top-five. Why? Well...there are only eight teams in the class.

The rest of the classes have the same five teams in the rankings from last week outside of Class 9A. Gregory entered the rankings with a 4-0 record.
