Alabama High School Football Rankings 2023

The best teams from last year’s Alabama high school state championships are starting this year as the number-one teams in their own groups. The Alabama Sports Writers Association just released their rankings for 2023.

In Class 7A, the team that has won the championship four times in a row, Thompson, is at the top. Auburn, last year’s second-place team, follows them, along with Hoover and Central-Phenix City, who made it to the semifinals.

The champions from last season, including Saraland in 6A, Ramsay in 5A, Andalusia in 4A, St. James in 3A, Fyffe in 2A, and Leroy in 1A, are all starting this season as the number one teams in their own classes. Additionally, Glenwood is ranked as the best team in the first AISA poll.

Fyffe received the most support in these rankings, with everyone agreeing they should be the number one team. In the AISA category, there was a close vote between Glenwood and Patrician, with only four votes separating them. Both teams got 10 first-place votes.
