Chaos is a perfect word to describe the start of the Class AA season as the previously fourth-ranked Watertown Arrows have claimed the top spot in the poll.

Every ranking position in Class AA changed from the preseason poll to the poll for this week. Watertown has grabbed the top ranking following a 5-0 start to the season. O'Gorman jumped from three to two, while Washington fell from first to third. Brandon Valley and Aberdeen Central entered the poll for the first time this season.

Sioux Falls Christian remains the unanimous top-ranked team in Class A after starting the season 3-1. Class A as a whole did not change this week. Class B remains steady as well with Northwestern at the top of the rankings.
