This is the first time since 1988 that the Jaguars have cracked the Top-10 in the state polls. B-B-E was ranked in the Top-10 of Class "B" under the old 5-class system during the first week of the season in 1988 after winning the season opener 34-18 against Bertha-Hewitt, but they fell out after losing 26-0 at Browerville in Week 2 and never returned until today, 25 years later.

Two other Section 4A teams are ranked: Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City is at #3 and Mayer Lutheran is ranked 14th.

In the Class AA poll, Holdingford is ranked 5th and Maple Lake is 10th.
