Indiana's high school football rankings saw limited movement this week, with most of the state's top teams idle. But a handful of programs took advantage of their opportunities, including Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger, which delivered a shutout, and Roncalli, which put up 41 points in a road victory.

Brownsburg, Warren Central, Westfield and the rest of the top six were off, leaving the rankings largely unchanged. Bishop Dwenger handled Fort Wayne North Side 34-0, Indianapolis Bishop Chatard defeated Guerin Catholic 21-12, and Roncalli beat Connersville 41-20.

With most of the top 25 just getting the postseason started this week, there's likely to be a lot more movement next week. Here is the latest High School On SI Indiana High School Football Top 25.
