The chase for the mythical high school national championship is just about down to three teams. In the most recent poll, five of the top six teams were undefeated. In the ten days since then, two of those five have lost. The teams ranked four through nine in this weeks' poll all have one loss and will be hoping to see all three undefeated teams atop the list falter.

The state playoffs will get underway all across the country in the coming weeks. For some teams that will provide a chance to get statement victories and enhance their resumes, while for others it will mean a bitter end to the season. Have a look below at where the top teams stand in the nation stand in regards to one another as of right now.
