Video: Top 25 national high school football rankings Mater Dei and St. John Bosco meet in a 1 vs. 2 showdown.
The date many high school football fans had circled on their calendars at the beginning of the season — Oct. 25 — is finally here.
No. 1 Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) vs. No. 2 St. John Bosco (Calif.).
The Trinity League battle is probably the first meeting of these titans as they seem on a collision course for the CIF Southern Section Open Division title like last season.
The Monarchs fell 41-18 to the Braves in the regular-season tilt, but exacted revenge in the playoffs on their way to a California Open Division state title.
The game is so hyped that tickets for the game at the Panish Family Center are already sold out.
The movement in the Composite Top 25 saw previous No. 3 IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) fall four spots after the Ascenders' 35-7 loss to St. Frances Academy (Baltimore), which leapfrogged Duncanville (Texas) to No. 3.
Longview (Texas), Gonzaga (Washington, D.C.) and St. Edward (Lakewood, Ohio) are the three new teams to the composite rankings.
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.
