The spring flag football season is heating up, and the race for national supremacy is officially on. The latest USA TODAY Sports Super 25 rankings have landed, and no team is making a bigger statement than Florida's Seminole Ridge, which has claimed the No. 1 spot as they prepare for the 3A state semifinals.

While the season's start varies across the country—Florida is already nearing its state championships, while states like New York are just finding their rhythm—one thing is clear: powerhouse programs are emerging everywhere. Florida continues to dominate the national landscape, but not without a few surprises. Defending champion Alonso was knocked out by Lennard just before the 4A semifinals, shaking up the usual order. Still, many of the Sunshine State's elite programs remain at the top of the rankings.

But Florida isn't the only state making noise. Tennessee, New York, New Jersey, and Mississippi are all fielding strong teams that are climbing the rankings and proving they belong on the national stage. The competition is fierce, and the list of contenders is growing deeper by the week.

These rankings are determined by a USA TODAY Network selection committee made up of editors and writers from officially sanctioned states—including Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Mississippi, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Washington—along with the USA TODAY High School Sports staff. The process blends last year's results, carryover momentum, and a primary focus on 2026 records and overall performance. A team's state ranking plays a key role in its national placement, balancing editorial expertise with the natural subjectivity of sports.

As the season unfolds, expect more shake-ups, rising stars, and unforgettable moments. Whether you're cheering from the stands or gearing up in your favorite flag football gear, this is the year to watch.
