With one week left to play in the 2024 regular season, Watterson is unanimously ranked No. 1 in the Central Ohio high school football Top 10 poll.

It’s also the sixth straight week at No. 1 for the undefeated Eagles, who may have to beat DeSales on Friday to hang on to the rankings and win our poll championship. The winner of the Watterson-DeSales matchup captures the CCL title.

Our second and third place teams, Pickerington North and Olentangy Orange, also play rivalry games this week against Gahanna Lincoln and Olentangy Liberty respectively. North (OCC-Ohio) and Orange (OCC-Central) are also playing for league titles, and perhaps one will jump to No. 1 with a win and a Watterson loss.

The Central Ohio Top 10 Poll ranks teams regardless of their division. Each voter submits a Top 10, with a first place vote worth 10 points, a second place vote worth nine and so on, up to one point for tenth place.
