Michigan top 25 smaller-school rankings after Week 6 of the 2019 regular season
Several top 25 teams were handed losses last week, with previously unbeaten Pontiac Notre Dame Prep, Ithaca, Fowlerville, Flint Hamady and Calumet all dropping to 5-1. Three of those teams dropped out of the rankings, while the other two dropped precipitously. That opened up room for a pair of east side teams, Almont and St. Clair, both of which have showdowns with other ranked teams upcoming this week.
