Considering all the upheaval that could have happened with big games this past week, the Week 7 CatchItKansas.com Football Poll remained remarkably unchanged.
The biggest debate in the office came in 6A, trying to decide what should happen when #3 beat #1, and #4 beat #2. Should it be a straight swap? What about #5 Topeka, who is still undefeated? How does that play into the equation. You can see below to find out the results.
The only new team to enter the rankings was in 4A, where St. James Academy makes an appearance.
3A also changed, which was the first time this season one of the five ranked teams lost. #3 Garden Plain topped rival Conway Springs, who was ranked #4. How far should a team fall if losing to a higher ranked team?
The poll will be updated every Wednesday throughout the season, so be sure to check back each week to see who's moving up, and who's moving out.
