Sports Illustrated Top 25 Power Rankings
1. Carroll (Southlake, Texas) (1-0)
The Dragons weren’t looking ahead to their showdown with Northwestern as they opened the season with a 42-10 romp over Lake Highlands.
2. Northwestern (Miami) (2-0)
The Bulls looked vulnerable with six turnovers in 28-18 win over Homestead, but a talented offense (QB Jacory Harris; WR Aldarius Johnson) should regroup for the Carroll showdown.
3. St. Xavier (Cincinnati) (3-0)
The Bombers continue to play well without star tailback Darius Ashley (ankle). Next on the nation’s toughest schedule is Trinity (Louisville) at home.
4. South Panola (Batesville, Miss.) (2-0)
A gritty Grenada (Miss.) squad looks to stop the elusive Darius Barksdale, who rushed for more than 200 yards for the second straight week against Clarksdale.

Editor’s Note: Though it looks like a mistake for John Curtis to be ranked No. 18 and No. 20 and for there to be two No. 21s, the rankings are as they appear on www.si.com, high school link.
