It only took two weeks for the High School Football America Florida Top 25 to look very different from the preseason version. Jesuit’s last second 24-21 defeat of preseason No. 1 St. Thomas Aquinas shakes-up the latest version of our statewide rankings powered by NFL Play Football.
Jesuit’s win jumps the Tigers 14 spots to No. 2 in the latest rankings created with our proprietary algorithm. The Tigers also moved from No. 91 to No. 24 in the High School Football America 100 national rankings. STA drops to No. 3 in the state and from No. 4 to No. 25 in our Top 100.
