The top two teams remained the same, but again, there was some shuffling among the rest of the top 15.

While Bedford and Windham remained at Nos. 1 and 2 in the rankings, Bishop Guertin, coming off a comeback win over Portsmouth, moved up to No. 3\. Exeter's huge win over Nashua North jumped the Blue Hawks up to No. 4 and Plymouth, still undefeated in Division II, came in at No. 5,

Here are the complete statewide rankings, along with the rankings for each division.

### How the rankings are done

We took the NHIAA’s football rating system, and gave it a little tweak. Instead of 10 points for a win, we weighted the wins by division, giving 12 for a win over a D1 team, 10 for a win over D2 and eight for a win over D3\. Plus, every team got two points for a win by a beaten opponent. The two point totals were added together and divided by the number of games played.
