And then there were two.
Friday night was a wild night of football, one that included a state record set for total points in a game and four of the top five teams in last week's Metro Top 10 go down to defeat. There were nine undefeated teams in Class 6A going into the weekend, and only two, Lakeville North and Blaine, emerged unblemished. Minnetonka, Cretin-Derham Hall, Prior Lake, Edina, Champlin Park, Roseville and White Bear Lake all lost for the first time.
That means a significant shake-up in the metro rankings is in order, with a couple of newcomers making their season debuts.
Metro Top 10
1. Lakeville North (3-0): The Panthers showed the offensive firepower we expected at the season's start, rolling up 537 total yards in a 62-34 rout of Farmington.
2. Blaine (3-0): As the only other undefeated team in Class 6A, the Bengals leap from No. 8 to No. 2. QB Jack Haring was spot-on Friday: 16-for-22, 292 yards, four TDs.
3. Eden Prairie (2-1): Three interceptions by the defense and TDs by five different players in a 35-12 victory over Prior Lake calmed the rising panic in Eagles Nation.
4. Wayzata (2-1): Of the 15 teams in 6A with 2-1 records, the Trojans have been among the most consistently balanced.
5. Minnetonka (2-1): Not going to abandon last week's No. 1, but there's work to be done in cutting down on costly mistakes.
