St. Thomas Aquinas still No. 1 despite loss.



St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) lost its first game of the season last week, but it did not lose its top spot in the MaxPreps South Region Football Computer Rankings.

The loss to Don Bosco Prep (which is now rated No. 1 in the Northeast) resulted in the loss of some ratings points for St. Thomas Aquinas, but it still holds a 1.5 point lead over No. 2 Gonzaga (Washington D.C.). Gonzaga slipped past Washington (Miami) for the No. 2 spot this week.
