Video: MaxPreps Top 10 Plays of the WeekCheck out the most incredible plays of last week's action.Some teams began play this weekend, which led to a few changes in the composite rankings. Most notable was IMG Academy's loss to American Heritage, which dropped the Ascenders from No. 3 to No. 10.
As a result several teams moved around, including St. Thomas Aquinas which took over the No. 2 spot.
In order to be considered for these rankings, a team must be ranked in
two national polls. If it does not land in all four, the team will be
given a 40 to weigh into its average. We chose four national polls that
have produced rankings for at least five years. The four polls include
the
MaxPreps Xcellent 25 writers' rankings, the
MaxPreps Computer Rankings,
USA Today Super 25 Expert Rankings and
PrepNation's National Prep Poll.
