National Rankings Roundup: Aquinas on top in Florida; Miami Central falls out

With Week 1 officially in the books in Florida and Week 2 in the books in the national landscape, the national rankings landscape saw a major shakeup after some of the top teams unexpectedly where topped by other teams.

Here is this week’s National Rankings Roundup:

USA TODAY SUPER 25

In the USA TODAY Super 25 rankings, compiled by Jim Halley, St. Thomas Aquinas made a jump just sitting right outside the No. 1 spot at No.2. However, the team that made the biggest jump in the rankings is Flanagan which went from No. 25 to No. 20. IMG Academy also made a big jump going from No. 22 last week to No. 17.

Miami Central which was ranked as high as No. 2 last week fell out of the Super 25 after falling to DeMatha Catholic, MD last week.
