This weekend will go a long way to deciding who will be the 2018 “mythical” national champion with two huge games in the Top 10.
In Southern California, defending national champ and current No. 1 Mater Dei will host No. 4 St. John Bosco in a Trinity League showdown. These two have combined to win the last six championships in the league that currently ranked No. 1 in the nation with our proprietary algorithm that creates our national rankings. Mater Dei has won the last two. Bosco won four straight between 2012 and 2016.
In the nation’s capital, No. 3 St. John’s College High School (Washington, DC) will take-on No. 8 Good Counsel (Maryland) for first place in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference, which is currently ranked as the second toughest league in the nation.
Two Top 25 upsets this past weekend shake up this week’s national rankings.
Defending Ohio Division I champ Pickerington Central blew a two touchdown lead in the last three minutes to Lancaster, which drops the Tigers from No. 8 to No. 41. No. 25 Brentwood Academy (Tennessee) also lost a late lead in a loss to McCallie, which breaks into the national rankings at No. 76.
McCallie is one of two new teams in the HSFA 100. Undefeated Hillgrove (Georgia) enters the national scene at No. 94 after beating McEachern (Georgia), which drops from No. 62 to No. 100.

*Mater Dei (California) forfeited its opening game victory against Bishop Amat (California) for using an ineligible player. However, because the player didn’t affect the on-field outcome, it is still calculated as a victory in our algorithm.
