Now that we’re well into section playoffs, and only a few days away from determining the 16 teams that will make up the state tournament field, we’re adapting our Minnesota Top 25 rankings. I’ve included only teams that remain alive heading into Tuesday.

Nine teams that were ranked last week lost in the section playoffs, including two teams that were in the top 5. Teams dropping out made room for previously unranked teams that deserve stick taps for moving on successfully.
