It's hard to believe the 2026 Colorado high school season is already down to the penultimate week of the regular season.

CHSAA's official rankings entering Week 9 are still volatile, with three new No. 1 teams, tons of movement across the top-10s and teams vying for playoff spots further down the rankings.

There are only 14 undefeated teams left in Colorado, including just 10 in 11-man classifications after previous Northern Colorado unbeatens Timnath and Loveland fell in Week 8.

However, Fort Collins (8-0) stands alone as the lone unbeaten left in Class 5A.

Here are the 2026 Colorado high school CHSAA football rankings entering Week 9, including the top 20 teams by class:
