Chaos in the USA TODAY Sports Super 25.
Four of the top 11 teams in the nation lost last week, creating substantial movement in the rankings from No. 1 to No. 25.
It began with No. 9 Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.), which had been No. 1 up until a week ago. The Monarchs hung on to defeat Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.), which happened to be the team that took the top spot over Mater Dei.
That outcome opened the door for a new Southern California powerhouse to take the top spot, though Florida’s top-ranked team is making a strong push as well.
The Friday night mayhem didn’t end there.
Then-No. 7 Duncanville (Texas) also lost. Then-No. 10 Corner Canyon (Draper, Utah) followed up with a shocking defeat, as did then-No. 11 Mission Viejo (Calif.) and then-No. 21 North Crowley (Fort Worth, Texas).
When the final clock hit zero, two new teams found a spot in the newest national rankings.
