Colorado High School Football Rankings: Week 7 Update

Week 7 in Colorado high school football was relatively quiet, with 22 of the previous top 25 teams winning. The biggest result saw No. 8 Limon lose to Colorado Springs Christian in a matchup of unbeaten Class 1A contenders. Cherry Creek remains No. 1 after a comeback win over Northfield.
Week 7 produced few surprises among Colorado’s ranked high school football teams, as 22 of the prior top 25 earned victories. The notable exception came when No. 8 Limon fell to Colorado Springs Christian, a clash of unbeaten Class 1A contenders. That result pushed Limon down and brought Colorado Springs Christian into the new poll.
Cherry Creek stayed at No. 1 after rallying past Northfield. The Bruins erased a 13-7 third-quarter deficit with three straight touchdowns, winning 28-13. Junior running back Isaiah Cromwell carried 13 times for 136 yards and two scores.
Updated rankings could affect how players, coaches, families, and local fans follow the season. A higher position may bring added attention to athletes and schools, while a loss like Limon’s may test team morale. The poll may also influence media coverage and community interest, though its direct impact may be limited to perception and attention.
