As of now, there's no question who the No. 1 team is among the four national polls. All four have
Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) in the top spot.
A pair of newcomers have arrived:
Carmel (Ind.) and
Webb City (Mo.).
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.
