Playoffs are in full swing around the country, so expect major turnover in the Xcellent 25 National Football Rankings presented by the Army National Guard.

The Georgia AAAAAA bracket, the Texas Class 6A-I bracket, the Ohio Division I bracket and the California Pac-5 bracket all feature multiple ranked teams who will likely collide in the coming weeks.

No. 2 St. John Bosco and No. 3 Centennial are poised to meet in December, while No. 4 Allen and No. 7 Trinity could meet in another Top 10 showdown. Grayson, the nation's No. 10 team, could end up meeting No. 5 Colquitt County as well.

One team already making noise in the playoffs is Loyola Academy, the newly minted No. 25 team. In Illinois' Class 8A bracket, Loyola blasted defending state champion Stevenson 49-0 for its fifth shutout of the season. It has outscored opponents 459-73 this year.

It will be tested this week against Homewood-Flossmoor in one of the biggest games of the year in Illinois.
