ETBlitz.com has always recognized the Dave Campbell’s Texas Football state rankings as the REAL state poll.
The DCTF polls are released each Monday of the season.
There was absolutely no change at the top of any of the classifications in this week’s polls: all the teams who were ranked number one in the previous polls from Sept. 14 are still ranked at the top, including a pair of ETBlitz.com coverage area programs: Carthage, competing in 4A, Division II, and Troup in 3A-Division II.
Here at ETB, we have no pay wall; our content is free. But DCTF is a subscription site. There’s a link below; click on it, if you’d like to find out how to subscribe.
And as for our advertising partner each week for our coverage of the rankings, you won’t find a better family business with a better product than Clower Meats of Kilgore, making people happy since the late 1960s.
Located near the intersection of Highway 31 and 42 in Kilgore, Clower Meats has been serving East Texans the very best steaks, ham, jerky and more since Truman and Bobbie Clower founded it in 1969! The Clower family believes in quality above all. (For the story of Oilfield Sausage, scroll down after the state rankings!)
And now, the Dave Campbell’s Texas Football state rankings released Monday, Sept. 21, 2026.
