Video: Top 10 Games of the Week
See this week's biggest showdowns, including IMG Academy heading West to take on Utah power East.
American Heritage was this week's biggest mover, jumping six places in the Composite Top 25 to No. 3 after a 23-19 win last week over Cardinal Gibbons. The top two spots are the same as Mater Dei and IMG Academy remained locked in well ahead of the field.
Two newcomers join the Composite 25 as Mission Viejo (Calif.) and Archer (Cartersville, Ga.) join the rankings at 19 and 25, respectively.
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.
