Nice(ville)! See who jumped in the latest USA TODAY Florida high school football poll

With the regular season heading into its third week, there's finally some stability at the top of the USA TODAY Florida Network high school football poll.

All nine No. 1 teams continue to hold on to the top spot in their respective classes.

St. Thomas Aquinas (Class 3M), Miami Central (2M), Chaminade-Madonna (1M), Lakeland (4S), Naples-First Baptist (1S) and Madison County (1R) all were unanimous selections in this week's poll.

Niceville made the biggest jump in the poll. The Eagles, which received votes in Class 4M the past the two weeks, moved up to No. 5 after a 15-7 win against Ocala-Vanguard on Friday.
