There was relatively little movement last week as only five states were still holding state playoffs, but there are still two new No. 1 teams in this week's MaxPreps Regional Computer Football Rankings.
De La Salle moved up to the top spot in the Farwest after winning its fourth-straight Open Division state championship. Meanwhile North Allegheny, which won the Class 4A state title in Pennsylvania, moves up to No. 1 in the Midwest.
The rankings are done using the MaxPreps Freeman Computer Ratings. Be sure to
