As we always do at the start of October, we produce a Media Compilation Poll using the High School Football America 300 national rankings, powered by NFL Play Football, and the six other national ranking services.
Right now, Mater Dei is the unanimous choice as the top team in America. The Monarchs are in the driver’s seat for our national title. If they win out, they’ll capture the school’s fourth HSFA national title since 2017. However, that run is not a foregone conclusion, because all eight games will be against teams ranked in the HSFA 300.

HSFA, CalPreps and Massey are computer based rankings. The High School Football America algorithm is celebrating its 11th anniversary this season. Max, USA TODAY, SBLive/Sports Illustrated and NationalHSFB.com are opinion-based polls.
Our compilation poll awards points to a team on the basis of its ranking in each poll. For example, the No. 1 team receives 25 points, the No. 2 team receives 24 points and so forth.
Mater Dei scored a perfect 175 points, followed by No. 2 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) with 165 points. IMG Academy (Florida) sits at No. 3, followed by Chaminade-Madonna (Florida) at No. 4 and Duncanville (Texas) at No. 5
Below is our media compilation poll that includes the MaxPreps Xcellent 25, USA TODAY Super 25, NationalHSFB.com, SBLive/Sports Illustrated Top 25, Massey Rankings and CalPreps‘ national rankings.
