With the regular season completely closed, the battle for our “mythical” national championship is officially coming down the home stretch with plenty of big playoff games on the horizon.
#7 Miami Central’s (Florida) win over former #24 University on Saturday strengthens the Rockets claim that it could be a possible one-loss champ, IF any of the top six teams stumbles.
New to the poll this week – Oscar Smith of Virginia.
We will not release new polls during the postseason. The next poll will be our final one on December 22nd.
