1. Birmingham Brother Rice
The Warriors have reutrned to the top spot after another impressive win in week four and shutting down the Shane Morris-led Warren De La Salle offense on Saturday. Pair that dominant defense with one of the most balanced offenses in the state, and the Warriors look like they're in the drivers seat to repeat as state champions.
2. Clarkston
The Wolves have been as good as anyone with some stellar defense and an impressive rushing attack, and now Clarkston quarterback D.J. Zezula looks like he is improving every single week. Don't forget about the Clarkston defense, which has shut down some of the area's best offenses so far this year.
3. (Tie) Farmington
The Falcons continue to get the job done in a number of different ways even after running into some injury issues in recent weeks. Last week senior Connor Mohr shouldered the load for Farmington on both sides of the ball as he recorded 15 tackles on defense and scored three touchdowns, including the game winner in overtime.
3. (Tie) Oak Park
Friday's game against Southfield was THE big test for the Knights so far this season and they passed with flying colors. Oak Park stayed perfect on the season with a 4-0 record after the defense shut down an explosive Blue Jay offense.
3. (Tie) Lake Orion
The Dragons offense has been electric so far this year, as they have put up some big time points in three games this year, but don't overlook the Lake Orion defense which has been equally as good at keeping opponents off of the scoreboard so far this year.
4. Orchard Lake St. Mary's
The Eaglets have looked almost perfect since losing their season opener and have made a statement in a pair of their recent wins. This might be the best offense St. Mary's has had since the Rob Bolden-Allen Robinson-Earnest Thomas days. This team can flat out score.
5. Farmington Hills Harrison
The Hawks bounced back from a tough loss at the hands of Oxford, but look for even more out of Harrison in the coming weeks with the dominant defense featuring Jake Slobin and Eddie Huckelby.
6. Bloomfield Hills Lahser
The Knights are firing on all cylinders on offense and have just too many weapons for most teams to be able to handle. If you plan on beating Lahser at some point this season, it's going to take a lot of points to do so.
7. Birmingham Detroit Country Day
The most exciting team in Oakland County could easily be 4-0, but currently sit at 3-1. With running back Richie Wilson and quarterback Tyler Weigers, opposing teams have just struggled to slow the Yellowjackets down so far.
8. Troy
The Cherry brother have been simply electric so far this year out of the Troy backfield, with both being more than capable of rushing for well over 100 yards in any given game, but what has put the Colt's offense over the top has been the emergence of sophomore quarterback Alex Mussat who has played well since taking over because of injuries.
9. Novi Detroit Catholic Central
The Shamrocks have one of, if not the toughest schedule in the state, and ran into an Ohio buzz saw over the course of the past few weeks, but were able to get back on track with a strong week four win on Friday.
10. Auburn Hills Avondale
The Yellowjackets seem to find another big time performer every single week, and with more and more weapons popping up for Avondale, the more dangerous this offense is going to be and the more points they will score.
