High School Football America 100: Top Teams' Paths to HSFA National Title

The first October High School Football America 100, powered by NFL Play Football, gives a clear idea of the national championship chase.

Top-ranked Mater Dei took control of its destiny with its 42-21 win over No. 4 St. John Bosco. If the Monarchs win a California Open Division title, Mater Dei will capture its third national title in the last five years.

However, the Monarchs still have four Trinity League regular season games left. And in the postseason, they're likley to face another game against St. John Bosco.

This week, the Monarchs will play No. 127 Orange Lutheran, followed by an October 15 matchup against No. 95 Santa Margarita. On October 23, Mater Dei will play arch-rival Servite, ranked at No. 24.

Right behind Mater Dei are a pair of two-time defending state champs — Westlake (Texas) at No. 2 and Thompson (Alabama) at No. 3.

St. John Bosco held on to the No. 4 spot in the latest rankings and will try to bounce back from the Mater Dei loss this week against JSerra, the only Trinity League team not ranked nationally.

Defending national champ IMG Academy (Florida) rounds out the Top 5. The Ascenders play three more teams in our national rankings — No. 21 St. Frances Academy (Maryland), No. 56 East St. Louis (Illinois) and No. 120 Auburn (Alabama).

There are five new teams in the HSFA 100 this week — DePaul (New Jersey) at No. 93, Santa Margarita (California) at No. 95, Mill Creek (Georgia) at No. 96, Rockwall-Heath (Texas) at No. 98 and Bryant (Arkansas) at No. 99.
