Glacier dropped a spot in the final prep football poll of the season, finishing the regular season ranked third in Class AA.

Helena remained as the top-ranked team in the state, with Butte taking over third place and Great Falls C.M. Russell tying the Wolfpack for third place. Billings Skyview jumped into the No. 5 spot following its win over Billings West to end the season.

Flathead, coming off its first win of the season, received eight votes in the final poll. The Braves were one of three teams receiving votes along with Bozeman and West.

The rankings don’t have any measure in the playoff seeding, with the Wolfpack taking the top spot despite its place in the polls. With four teams tied atop the standings at 8-2 to end the year, Butte holds the No. 2 seed and CMR is the third seed. Top-ranked Helena is the fourth seed in the playoffs.
