COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Division III is the toughest that it has been in recent memory, as this group has several teams ranked among the top programs in the state. With the only four undefeated teams in Central Ohio, Division III is going to be an all-out war in the district tournament.

Let's take a look at the updated top five.

1. Harvest Prep

Record: 10-0 (5-0)

This Week: Monday vs. Millersport, Tuesday at #1 (D4) Fisher Catholic, Saturday at #3 Wellington

Harvest Prep remains unbeaten and hasn't really been challenged up to this point. The Warriors get two top three ranked teams this week, with both games coming on the road. Ranked at No. 2 in the latest state AP poll, Harvest Prep can further claim its top spot here by going unbeaten this week. Saturday's matchup at Wellington will be the toughest game that the Warriors have played all season as the Jaguars come in hot, winners of its last seven games. 

2. Bishop Ready

Record: 11-0 (3-0)

This Week: Friday at St. Charles

Ranked at No. 1 in the state, Bishop Ready has a major target on its back as the Silver Knights are off to its best start in more than 20 years. Now begins the toughest stretch of the season for a team that hasn't faced a ton of adversity this year. Six of Ready's next seven games are on the road, including a mega non-league matchup at Wellington on Jan. 23. With only one game this week, Ready will look to further its lead in the Central Catholic League at St. Charles.

3. Wellington

Record: 8-3 (4-1)

This Week: Tuesday vs. #3 (D4) Fairfield Christian, Saturday vs. #1 Harvest Prep

Wellington has navigated a brutal first half of the season, as the Jaguars played only three games at home. Picking up big road wins over Division I opponents in Westerville North and Whitehall, Wellington has the best strength of record of any Division III program and can stake its claim atop the division in the next nine days. With matchups at home against the top programs ahead of them, Wellington controls its own destiny. 

4. Northmor 

Record: 11-0 (7-0)

This Week: Tuesday at Fredericktown, Friday vs. Danville

Getting our first look at Northmor on Wednesday, the Golden Knights impressed with its sheer size and physicality. With a starting five that features an elite-level athlete at point guard, and then a 6-foot-3 shooting guard, 6-foot-5 forward and twin 6-foot-7 and 6-foot-8 forwards, Northmor is the biggest team in Division III. Playing more than an hour north of Columbus, Northmor might have slid under the radar thus far, but through the first half of the year, the Golden Knights have dominated the Knox-Morrow Athletic Conference and look to have a chance to finish the regular season undefeated. In order to do that, Northmor will have to win eight of the next 11 games away from home. 

5. Africentric

Record: 6-4 (3-2)

This Week: Tuesday at Briggs, Wednesday vs. #3 (D2) South, Friday at Marion-Franklin

Snow and ice prevented two chances for Africentric to make statements this past week as a home matchup vs. No. 3 (D2) South and a road matchup at Cincinnati McNicholas, who is undefeated and No. 2 in the latest Division II state rankings, were wiped away. The contest vs. South was pushed back to Wednesday, which will be an intriguing back-to-back league contest, which is almost unheard of these days. With three games in four days, Africentric has two very winnable games surrounding the primetime matchup vs. the Bulldogs on Wednesday. 

1. #3 Wellington - 18 points

2. #6 Johnstown - 12 points

3. #1 Harvest Prep - 8 points

3. #2 Bishop Ready -  8 points

5. #8 Grandview Heights - 5 points
