CalPreps and High School Football America, both computer-driven rankings, elevated the Southern California powerhouse to No. 1, despite being outside the top 5 just last week. Blue Star Media also recognized their prowess, boosting them four spots to secure the overall No. 1 position.
Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) maintained its second position in the composite poll but emerged as the top-ranked team in both MaxPreps and SB Live's expert rankings. Despite this, the Gaels weren't able to jump to the No. 1 spot in the top 25 composite as National HSFB pushed them down to the fifth position overall. In the same rankings, National HSFB crowned
IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) as the leader in its Top 25 rankings.
A newcomer to the Top 25 this year is
Norland (Miami), which enter after a notable victory over
Central (Miami). The Vikings were ranked by Blue Star Media last week while MaxPreps, SB Live and National HSFB followed suit this week, recognizing their 29-26 win.
The composite top 25 takes into account a wide range of approaches to
high school football rankings by six different media outlets. That
includes computer algorithms by CalPreps and High School Football
America as well as expert rankings from MaxPreps, SBLive, Blue Star
Media and National HSFB.
To be considered for the rankings a team
must be recognized 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.
