Three of the seven media outlets included pegged IMG Academy No. 1 while two put
St. Frances Academy (Baltimore, Md.) in the top spot.
Grayson (Loganville, Ga.) and
Southlake Carroll (Southlake, Texas) also received No. 1 nods.
St. John Bosco had been the unanimous No. 1 team in the nation before the 36-31 loss. The Braves dropped to No. 4.
The win shot Mater Dei up from No. 11 to No. 6. The Monarchs trailed 24-3 on Friday night before roaring back for the win behind five touchdown passes by senior quarterback
Ryan Hopkins, who delivered three of those to Ohio State commit
Kayden Dixon-Wyatt.
Bosco and Mater Dei could meet again in the Southern Section Division I championship at the Rose Bowl on Nov. 28. But the field is loaded as No. 7
Centennial (Corona), No. 10
Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth) and No. 13
Santa Margarita (Rancho Santa Margarita) are also in the eight-team bracket that begins Nov. 14.
The composite rankings incorporate a wide spectrum of methodologies from the
MaxPreps Top 25,
National HSFB,
Massey,
SB Live,
USA Today,
SC Next and
High School Football America rankings.
To be considered for the media composite top 25, a team must be included in the rankings by two or more media outlets. 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.
