Our final regular season power rankings are here.
News-Leader reporter Wyatt Wheeler ranked more than 50 teams in southwest Missouri before cutting the list down to the Top 25 while also including the first 10 teams who missed the cut in alphabetical order.
Among the considered factors in the rankings:
- Watching the teams play
- Previous rankings
- Program success
- Previous week results
- Season success
Note that rankings don't necessarily mean a Class 1 team ranked higher than a Class 5 team would beat them head-to-head, but the rankings show dominance by class.
