COLUMBUS, Ohio — Impressive wins leads to more respect, so is the case for many teams throughout Ohio. In the latest and third Associated Press high school state football rankings, Dublin Coffman jumped to 4th in Division I following the Rocks' big 51-6 road win at Marysville. Neighboring Westerville Central (5-0) also climbed to 13th in D-1. The Warhawks made easy work of Canal Winchester in week five 44-14.
In Division II, undefeated Olentangy remained 5th in the rankings despite a 36-0 shutout win over rival Orange.
Meanwhile, Tri-Valley's impressive 5-0 start to the season has lifted the Dawgs two spots to 8th in the latest Division III poll. The three-time MVL champs are outscoring opponents 233-20 through five games. Fellow MVL foe Maysville (5-0) received votes to slide into 15th in D-III.
Listed below is how a state panel of sports writers and broadcasters rated Ohio high school football teams in the third weekly Associated Press poll of 2014, by OHSAA divisions, with won-lost record and total points (first-place votes in parentheses):
