22. (21) Harrison (Farmington Hills, Mich.), 10-0Jake Vento tossed two touchdown passes as Harrison beat Seaholm 35-0.
23. (NR) Bentonville (Ark.), 9-0It's hard to overlook the dominance of Bentonville in the state of Arkansas this season. It blanked Springdale 48-0.
QwiXcore24. (NR) Westlake (Westlake Village, Calif.), 8-0Having defeated top competition from Northern and Southern California, Westlake looks like the state's top team. It overwhelmed Newbury Park 49-3.
25. (NR) Manatee (Bradenton, Fla.), 7-2It's unusual for a two-loss team to crack the rankings. However, Manatee has won several big games since its early-season setbacks to Don Bosco Prep and Good Counsel.
