TOP 25 ANALYSIS – AFTER WEEK 3

THE BIG PICTURE

Miami Edison is the South Florida region’s top-ranked program heading into Week 4, moving up one spot to claim the No. 1 position after going 3-0 in the week’s most demanding gauntlet. The Red Raiders beat Coral Gables 27-6, Everglades 35-0, and Miami Central 41-0 — three games, three wins, and a schedule that now includes results against programs ranked throughout the South Florida standings. Wellington drops one spot to No. 2 despite going 2-0, overtaken by Edison’s larger body of credible work. The week’s most significant storyline beyond the top two is the collapse of Palm Beach Gardens: the Gators went 1-2 against the region’s top competition and drop seven spots to No. 15, the week’s largest fall in the top 25. Doral Academy enters the top 15 at No. 14 after going 1-1, jumping 18 spots from 32nd. Six teams drop out entirely — Boyd Anderson, True North, Pembroke Pines Charter, SLAM, Miami Norland, and Everglades — replaced by Doral Academy, Piper, Coconut Creek, Palm Beach Central, Cypress Bay, and Jupiter.

No. 1 Miami Edison — Red Raiders Go 3-0 in Week’s Toughest Gauntlet to Take the Top Spot

Miami Edison did exactly what the No. 1 ranking requires: they played three games against credible opposition and won all three convincingly. Tuesday brought Coral Gables — a program that had just beaten Homestead and was entering the week 2-0 — and the Red Raiders dispatched them 27-6. Wednesday brought Everglades, a 4-1 program that had beaten three opponents at the Broward County Classic and had been one of the region’s more active early-season programs. Edison won 35-0. Friday brought Miami Central, and the Red Raiders closed the week 41-0. Three games, 103 points scored, six points allowed. Edison is now 6-0 with wins in three consecutive weeks against programs that collectively represent a cross-section of the South Florida standings. Their SOS of 30.94 ranks in the upper-middle tier statewide and reflects a program that has not avoided competition. The Red Raiders are the South Florida region’s top-ranked program and have earned it.

No. 2 Wellington — Wolverines Go 2-0 but Drop One Spot as Edison’s Body of Work Proves Greater

Wellington went 2-0 this week — beating Dr. Joaquin Garcia 18-0 on Wednesday and Dwyer 38-0 on Thursday — and drops one spot despite winning both games. This is what happens when Edison goes 3-0 against more credible competition in the same week: Wellington’s two shutout wins look clean, but the Wolverines are now 3-0 with just three games played compared to Edison’s six. The Dr. Joaquin Garcia win is the more meaningful of the two — the Bulldogs were 12th in these rankings entering the week with an SOS figure ranking 88th statewide, and Wellington held them scoreless. The 18-0 final does not leave ambiguity about who controlled that game. Dwyer was a lower-tier opponent and the 38-0 margin reflects that. Wellington’s SOS of 21.23 ranks in the middle tier statewide. The Wolverines are unbeaten, they are winning convincingly, and they are still the region’s second-ranked program. But Edison has played twice as many games against harder competition, and that gap is now visible in the standings.

No. 3 Seminole Ridge — Hawks Hold at No. 3 Without Playing, Sitting on Six Wins and One Loss

Seminole Ridge did not play this week and holds at No. 3 with their 6-1 record unchanged. After seven games in the first two weeks — including four at the Broward County Girls Flag Football Classic — the Hawks were the region’s most battle-tested program entering Week 3, and their rating of 67.36 reflects that body of work holding steady even without adding results. Their SOS of 36.58 remains one of the strongest marks in the South Florida top 25, reflecting a schedule that has included Spanish River, Boyd Anderson, Stoneman Douglas, Park Vista, Lennard, and Land O’ Lakes. The one loss on their record came against Park Vista — now No. 8 in these rankings at 5-0 — which means that result reads increasingly well as the season progresses. Seminole Ridge is the region’s most credentialed program on a per-game basis, and their place in the top three is not threatened by inactivity.
