Carol City makes the biggest move in this week's Top 25 after beating Miami Central.

In the biggest game last weekend, Carol City (Miami) flexed its muscle beating Miami Central 36-28 to win the district 16-6A title. The win moved the Chiefs up seven spots to No. 5 as they claimed their first district title since 2015. Nayquan Wright rushed for nearly 100 yards and two scores in the win and Travis McNichols' pick-six in the fourth quarter ended up being the difference.

There's a good chance these two teams see each other again in the Florida 6A state playoffs and the winner of that potential matchup will be the favorite to win the state title. The loss dropped Miami Central seven spots to No. 11.

The CIF Southern Section Division-I playoff bracket was announced earlier today and features four teams ranked in the Top 25.

The Trinity League champs and national No. 1 — St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) — is the top seed after finishing the year 10-0. The Braves face Serra (Gardena, Calif.) in Friday's opening round.

Centennial (Corona, Calif.) checks in as the No. 2 seed and takes on Ryan Hilinski and Orange Lutheran (Orange, Calif.) in the opening round on Friday. Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) is the three-seed and faces Valencia (Calif.) on Friday. There's a good chance Mater Dei and Corona Centennial meet in the Nov. 16 semifinals. Oaks Christian (Westlake Village, Calif.) is the four seed and opens with Chaminade (West Hills, Calif.) with a potential quarterfinal matchup against a very good JSerra Catholic (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) team waiting.

The playoffs begin in Ohio and No. 23 Colerain (Cincinnati) opens up against its crosstown rival St. Xavier (Cincinnati) on Friday. This is the fifth straight year these two meet in the playoffs and they've split the previous four meetings — three being decided by one score.

No. 21 Archbishop Hoban (Akron, Ohio) begins its quest for a fourth straight state title Friday against Mayfield (Ohio). The Knights have won 24 games in a row and will be the favorites in the Ohio Division-II bracket.

No. 14 Warren Central (Indianapolis) had no trouble with Ben Davis (Indianapolis), the defending 6A state champions, pulling away with a 21-7 second on the way to a 49-28 win. Romeir Elliott continued his impressive season, totaling over 250 yards of offense and four scores. Jayden George threw for nearly 300 yards and David Bell finished the night with 101 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Up next for the Warriors is Lawrence Central (Indianapolis) with the winner advancing to the Indiana 6A quarterfinals.
