Southlake Carroll, Coppell rise in Corbett Smith's AP football ballot

With bye weeks, rain outs and cancellations across the state, a fair bit of the top-ranked teams in the state weren't in action last week (7 of 50 ranked teams had games that were canceled by rain or storms, while eight teams were on bye weeks). Consequently, there's not much movement in my ballot.

Southlake Carroll and Coppell were among the throng of teams at rest: Carroll on its bye week, Coppell getting midway through the first quarter of its Thursday game against Garland, before lightning brought it to a close.

Regardless, those two teams moved up on my 5A ballot, taking advantage of San Antonio Madison's loss to Smithson Valley, and DeSoto's thumping of Cedar Hill.

Class 5A No. 10 Pflugerville Hendrickson and 1A No. 10 Bosqueville are the only new teams to my poll.
