Tri-State high school football Ohio DIV-DVI rankings: Week 5

It looks as if all the teams in the rankings that have had an early season stumble are back on track. Outside of the GCL small schools most of the other teams in the Top 10 appear to be on their way for monster finishes.

It still looks as if the road to the Division IV, Region 16 championship runs through a team just outside our rankings area, Clinton-Massie (4-0). The Falcons have set a pretty high bar for other to follow in 2012.
