As the state playoffs prepare to kick off, the latest Arkansas high school football rankings reveal both stability at the top and significant changes in the standings.

Bryant continues to lead the rankings with a perfect record of 10-0, having recently defeated Conway with a score of 28-21. Following them are Bentonville and Greenwood, both maintaining their undefeated statuses at 10-0 as well.
