Video: Top 10 Games of the Week
See Zack Poff dissect the biggest games of the week, including the Mater Dei-Bishop Gorman showdown.
It's going to be a hot weekend in Southern California when defending national champion Bishop Gorman brings that Vegas heat to SoCal. With temperatures expected to be in the high 90s Friday, will the Gaels be able to cool off the high-powered offense of No. 1 Mater Dei?
On Saturday, the big games continue in Southern California. It may be a little cooler in San Diego, but still expect the heat on the field as No. 2 IMG Academy takes on No. 6 Centennial.
Only schools recognized by two or more media outlets are eligible for
inclusion in the composite rankings. Teams were assigned a score of 40
for each media outlet that did not recognize them as part of their Top
25, rewarding teams that received consensus acclaim.
