Although none of the previous Top 25 teams lost, two new teams nosed their way into the national rankings this week.

It was only a preseason game, but defending 6A champion Prattville (Ala.) was impressive enough in a 36-3 rout of North Gwinnett (Suwanee, Ga.) to move up to No. 11 in the national poll. Transfer quarterback Casey Weston looked solid in his first action replacing 2006 Alabama player of the year Larry Smith.

Booker T. Washington (Miami) is now No. 19 after its 36-3 ESPN-televised drubbing of then regionally ranked Summerville (S.C.). The Tornadoes outgained the Green Wave by nearly a 3-to-1 margin in the game.
