James has been covering high school sports in Utah for the Deseret News for three decades.

Here’s a class-by-class look at the updated RPI rankings for Utah high school football after five weeks of games. Not surprisingly, there was a significant shakeup from the debut rankings that were released by the UHSAA after Week 4, with some teams moving as many as seven spots.

At the top though, only one classification had a change.

Sky View took over the top spot in 4A, jumping three spots after beating Ridgeline 23-22 in a thrilling Week 5 game that came down to the final minute.

Lehi (6A), Box Elder (5A), Richfield (3A), San Juan (2A), Duchesne (1A) and Rich (1A 8-player) all maintained the top spot in their respective classifications heading into Week 6.

Duchesne is the only team of the six No. 1s that lost in Week 5 and stayed in the top spot after losing to Enterprise, 34-28. Enterprise, meanwhile, remained in the No. 2 spot despite being the only undefeated team remaining in 1A.

The biggest jumps belonged to West, Orem and Mountain Crest, each of which jumped seven spots in their respective classifications. In 5A, West vaulted from 12th to fifth and Orem from 21st to 14th with their wins last Friday.

Mountain Crest, meanwhile, jumped from No. 11 to No. 4 by beating previous 4A No. 1 Green Canyon.

Here’s a look at each classification, noting the change from Week 4 to Week 5:
