Joshua Wilson’s FHSF Florida Top 25 & Classification Rankings – Week 3

Week 3 of the 2023 football season is here, and with that, it is time to look at the third set of rankings of the season as we continue to find out who will continue to make the headlines across the Sunshine State.

As we will do each week during the regular season and postseason, we will update our rankings weekly with the Florida Top 25 rankings, Top 10 rankings for all nine classifications, plus Top 10 rankings for SSAA 11-Man and SSAA 8-Man football while providing a Top 5 ranking for SSAA Atlantic League. We will release updated rankings each week on Tuesday during the season (pending no weather-related issues). Records reflect after Week 2 games.
