Video: Top 25 high school football rankings Zack Poff breaks down the MaxPreps Xcellent 25 rankings after two weeks of action.

St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) continues to sit atop the rankings, while Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) didn't let the forfeit ruling distract them from taking care of business in Las Vegas as the Monarchs dispatched Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) to move to 1-1 on the season.
But closing in on both California schools is IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.), which saw its win streak extended to 38 games after a 42-0 win over Pennsylvania champions Pine-Richland (Gibsonia, Pa.). Allen (Texas) begins is 2018 campaign this week and sits at 4, while St. John's (Washington, D.C.) is at No. 5 and the featured game in the MaxPreps Top 10 Games of the Week.
