|---|---|---|---|
1. Gretna | 12-1 | Beat Omaha Westside, 7-3, state final. | Tough and physical defense never better than on Championship Night. Like I said, every time I move to Gretna the Dragons win state. |
2. Omaha Westside | 12-1 | Lost to Gretna, 7-3, state final. | Westside did everything right, especially in that semifinal rush v. Bellevue West, just came up short in bid to repeat, get to 25 straight wins. |
3. Millard South | 9-1 | Lost to Omaha North, 49-42, in round of 16. | North turned around and made the semifinals, losing to the eventual champion. And Patriots sure looked like the best team the rest of the time. |
4. Bellevue West | 10-2 | Lost to Omaha Westside, 41-26, semifinals. | Two losses are to No. 2 and No. 3. |
5. Elkhorn South | 9-2 | Lost to Gretna, 14-7, quarterfinals. | Only team to beat state champion Gretna. |
6. Omaha North | 6-6 | Lost to Gretna, 34-0, semifinals. | Drops a spot since last ratings but that Millard South win resonates, and they did make the semis. |
7. Creighton Prep | 7-3 | Lost to Grand Island, 30-28, round of 16. | Despite the playoff upset the Junior Jays played a lot of good football this season. |
8. Omaha Burke | 8-3 | Lost to Omaha Westside, 42-3, quarterfinals. | Three losses to top four teams, beat North High back in September. |
9. Grand Island | 7-4 | Lost to Bellevue West 52-20. | Won five in a row, including Prep upset, before final loss. |
10. North Platte | 7-4 | Lost to Omaha North, 35-34, quarterfinals. | Beating Lincoln East in regular season made the difference. |

|---|---|---|---|
1. Bennington | 13-0 | Beat Aurora, 42-14, state final. | Made no doubt about it with that emphatic championship win, this is one of our all-time best Class B teams. There was that mild first-half challenge by defending champion Elkhorn High in the semifinals but like I've been sayin', until further notice. |
2. Elkhorn High | 10-2 | Lost to Bennington, 28-7, semifinals. | Like the rest of them, the Antlers just couldn't beat Bennington but did beat Skutt and Waverly. |
3. Aurora | 10-3 | Lost to Bennington, 42-14, state final. | Won 10 in a row between opening losses to Class A No. 10 North Platte and Bennington, the first time. |
4. Omaha Skutt | 8-4 | Lost to Aurora, 21-17, semifinals. | At its best Skutt was right there, and had Aurora beat in the semifinals. |
5. Plattsmouth | 10-1 | Lost to Omaha Skutt, 20-10, quarterfinals. | Even without their 2,000-yard running back the Blue Devils hung with Aurora after earlier beating Waverly in its biggest regular season test. |
6. Waverly | 7-4 | Lost to Bennington, 41-0, quarterfinals. | Flamed out against B's best and also had some tough luck against top teams, all of its losses to teams ranked in the Class B top four. Ugh. |
7. Scottsbluff | 8-3 | Lost to Aurora, 34-14, quarterfinals. | Bearcats had won seven in a row before its second loss to Aurora. |
8. Grand Island Northwest | 5=5 | Lost to Waverly, 59-13, in round of 16. | Ugly finish to strange season in which the Vikings suffered all those losses to top-six teams, and beat No. 9 Seward by 20. |
9. Seward | 8-3 | Lost to Elkhorn High, 35-20, quarterfinals. | Bluejays won their first five, won a playoff game. |
10. Beatrice | 6-4 | Lost to Omaha Skutt, 31-10, round of 16. | Beatrice won its first five and beat Norris by 14 points. Norris, with the way it played some of our best teams so close, has a real solid claim to this spot, can't blame you if you do. |
