Northwestern jumps 27 spots with the 21-7 win to No. 11 in the latest rankings that are created with our proprietary algorithm, while Central falls to No. 12.
St. Ignatius, which dropped from No. 9 to No. 38 last week after losing to Archbishop Moeller (Ohio), rebounds to No. 25 after beating St. X 28-14 in a rematch of the 2016 Ohio Division I state championship game won by St. X in double-overtime. St. Xavier falls from No. 5 to No. 26 in the new ranking.
Next-up for St. Igantius is arch-rival No. 18 St. Edward (Ohio).
