- Ohio high school football rankings: Columbus-area Top 10 poll for Week 6
Stability has not been the hallmark of the central Ohio high school football Top 10 poll this season. There has been movement throughout the rankings, and Gahanna Lincoln, Groveport, Olentangy Liberty and Watterson all have been ranked No. 1.
But thanks to a 41-9 win in Week 5 at fellow Division III power Chardon, Watterson is No. 1 for the second week in a row. The undefeated Eagles even picked up three more first-place votes.

Also, Grove City and Pickerington North held their rankings at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively.
