The biggest win in school history catapulted JSerra Catholic (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) into the Composite Top 25. Now the Lions have to fight to stay.
Fresh off a 17-10 victory over Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.), the first time JSerra had ever defeated the Monarchs, the Lions come in at No. 17.
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.
