43 Skyline Dallas TX 3-0 50 vs Plano East
A huge win this week over Arlington Bowie solidfies the spot for Skyline. Back to back home games with Plano East and Highlands would make for a great 4-0 record if they can get the wins.

55 Central Catholic Pittsburgh PA 2-1 52 @ Upper St. Clair
Well we saw early that the Vikings were not up to the task of taking on Lakeland (FL) we will see if they are deserving of this current ranking in the next three weeks against Upper St. Clair, Woodland Hills, and Penn Hills.
56 Quince Orchard North Potomac MD 2-0 53 @ Damascus

Hurrican Ike shut down most of the Houston area games. The Mustangs are back in action next week against Memorial.
62 The Woodlands The Woodlands Tx 2-0 NR @ Kingwood
The Woodlands made two early season statements with back to back shutouts of Cy Fair and Katy. Their game this week was canceled.
63 Bear Creek Lakewood CO 3-0 61 vs Ponoma
Bear Creek may be a risk pick at No. 63, especially with very talented teams in Colorado, but we like the talent they have on the field - and that they just keep winning.
64 Chamberlain Tampa FL 2-0 NR @ Hillsborough
The Chiefs will go as far as Dontae Aycock will take them. So far it is into the Top 100 - winning 5A may get them higher.
65 Columbus Miami FL 2-0 NR @ Southridge
After seeing the Explorers dominate Palmetto last week, and beat Carol City this week we think Columbus may be the best team in Miami this year.
66 East Grand Rapids Grand Rapids MI 3-0 70 @ Reeths-Puffer
East Grand Rapids looked good back at home with a 21-7 victory. We still aren't sold this is the best team in Michigan, but we do know the West has been better than the East in the early going.
67 Upland Upland CA 2-0 71 @ Serrano
The Scots are starting to make more believers outside of the Inland Valley following a nice redemption win over Glendora. Josh Nunes was 17-for-29 for 286 yards and two touchdowns in the contest.

Traditional power St. Louis dominated Punahou 40-19 and re-asserted themselves as the team to beat in Hawaii.
69 Olive Branch Olive Branch MS 2-1 68 @ Treadwell
Olive Branch got back to the winning ways in a big gut check game for the Counquistadors. A 61-20 thrashing of Tradwell may have been just what they needed to get the disappointing loss last week out of their mouth.
70 Coldwater Coldwater OH 4-0 63 @ Anna
Coldwater keeps winning convincingly, however the quality of wins do raise some doubts. An undefeated season will keep them in the 100 though.

The Friars do not have a long list of superstar players but they get the job done. They will need to play a complete game against No. 36 Crespi this week.
75 Oaks Christian Westlake Village CA 2-0 NR @ Diamond Ranch
The high profile Lions make their debut in the RivalsHigh 100 at No. 75. Most likely they will stay there until they take on Oxnard Santa Clara.

It looks like the Tigers are putting the loss to Colerain far in their rearview mirror demolishing another WPIAL opponent, Connellsville, 67-7.
77 Brophy Prep Phoenix AZ 2-1 87 @ Salpointe Catholic
Brophy flashed some offense this week following a shutout loss last week, but how much to take of a 45-13 win over a questionable at best Horizon team.
78 Cairo Cairo GA 2-0 77 @ Munre (Fla.)
The Syrupmakers escaped with a 10-7 win over Thomasville. Lead by Angelo Pace - who threw for 129 yards and rushed for 76 more - Cairo stays in the Top 100.
79 Destrehan Destrehan LA 0-0 78 @ Terrebonne
Destrehan made an impressive run in 2007 and ended the year 15-0 with the 5A state championship. However, in 2008 they must deal with the loss of many of their top players. They return only five starters on offense. Fortunately, four of the returners are on the offensive line.
80 Saguaro Scottsdale AZ 2-0 65 vs Agua Fria
Going for a three peat in 4AI Arizona sees Saguaro stay in the national ranking, but slips behind the three 5A powers from Arizona.

84 Booker T. Washington Miami FL 1-2 76 @ Northwestern
Stock Falling The Tornadoes are walking a very fine line for the national rankings. They were down 19 points before coming back to tie the game and eventually beat Central 44-39. The loser of the Miami Northwestern game will not be on this list next week.
85 Carmel Carmel IN 4-0 83 @ Lawrence North
Carmel used a much better defensive performance to regain their form with a 48-0 beating of South Vigo.
86 Muskegon Muskegon MI 3-0 90 @ Grand Haven
With the offense Muskegon has the Big Red may be the best team in Michigan. Another high scoring game as they beat West Ottawa 49-14.
87 Alta Sandy UT 4-0 86 @ Grant (Calif.)
Alta has been able to overcome a lot of key losses to graduation in the early going, and posting back to back shutouts may mean they have hit their stride. A battle to stay in the rankings awaits as they take on No. 93 Grant (Calif.).
88 Booker T. Washington Tulsa OK 2-0 88 vs Broken Arrow
Okay, it is now time to prove yourself. A 46-21 win over East Central is nice, but Broken Arrow is another animal all together.
89 Har-Ber Springdale AR 2-0 91 @ Coweta (Okla.)
The Wildcats show off the offense again with a 48-10 pasting of Alma. They will play host to out of state opponent Coweta (Okla.).

Mayfield made an easy game of it against Carlsbad this week being up 42-0 at the half.
91 Independence Charlotte NC 2-0 94 vs Vance

93 Grant Sacramento CA 2-0 96 @ Alta (Utah)

94 Maine South Park Ridge IL 2-0 98 @ Glenbrook North
The Hawks will play the Glenbrook North game on Monday because of flooding.

96 Punahou Honolulu HI 3-1 28 @ St. Louis
Stock Falling Punahou fell hard in a 40-19 drubbing at the hands of traditional Hawaiian power, St. Louis.

Stock Falling We were nervous about the high ranking given to Stony Point this season and it came to bite us in a sloppy 9-3 loss at Waco this week.
98 St. Rita Chicago IL 3-0 NR @ Mt. Carmel
Mt. Carmel's surprising and disappointing loss made this move at least a week early. St. Rita earned a 45-6 win over Leo this weekend but may lose their spot in the Top 100 if they fall to the Caravan next week.
99 Jenks Jenks OK 1-1 58 @ Owasso
Stock Falling Jenks dropped a tough 24-17 decision to Union in the Backyard Bowl. They are so talented it is hard to drop them all the way out of the rankings at this point.
100 Rockhurst Kansas City MO 2-1 60 vs Mullen (CO)
The Hawklets lost an overtime game to Blue Springs this week 28-21. However with wins over Blue Springs South and Hutchinson they have enough on the resume to cling to the last spot in the 100. A loss to Mullen (CO) this week will have Rockhurst on the outside looking in however.
A trendy upset pick did not materialize as the Trojans flexed their muscle in a 37-14 pasting of a very good Cedar Hill team. Another battle at No. 33 Allen awaits.
2 Armwood Seffner FL 3-0 2 @ Brandon

43 Skyline Dallas TX 3-0 50 vs Plano East
A huge win this week over Arlington Bowie solidfies the spot for Skyline. Back to back home games with Plano East and Highlands would make for a great 4-0 record if they can get the wins.
44 Maryville Maryville TN 4-0 48 vs Powell
Different week same story, Maryville dominated another East Tennessee team beating Heritage 38-7.
45 South Pointe Rock Hill SC 3-0 68 @ Fort Mill
Stock Rising In their first measuring stick game the Stallions ran all over Clover, on the road, for a 35-7 victory.
46 Camden County Kingsland GA 3-0 NR @ Windsor Forrest
Camden rolled up 386 yards on the ground, including 187 from senior back Greg Baker in the 44-16 win over Hoover (AL).
47 Lake Travis Austin TX 3-0 46 vs Evangel Christian (La.)
Lake Travis continues to win by beating Cedar Park 35-21. They take on traditional power Evangel Christian (LA) this week.
48 Centennial Peoria AZ 2-0 82 @ Rincon
Stock Rising The Coyotes move up to the top spot in Arizona with a convincing victory over Hamilton. They head to the road against Rincon this week.
49 Wayne County Waynesboro MS 3-0 NR @ Starkville
The War Eagles dominated Meridian this weekend and may be the best team in Mississippi. The last team to beat South Panola makes a serious jump into the Top 50.
50 Hamilton Chandler AZ 2-1 15 @ Centennial
Stock Falling The state of Arizona continues to confuse us with Hamilton losing to Centennial 35-16. After three nationally ranked opponenets to start the season the Huskies have to be excited to get Red Mountain... right?
51 Thomas Jefferson Jefferson Hills PA 2-1 44 @ Ringgold
The Jaguars continued to dominate their AAA opponents beating Trinity 40-0. They head home for their first game in front of their crowd when they play Ringgold this week.
52 Union Tulsa OK 1-1 54 vs Jenks
Union recovered from a surprising loss to Broken Arrow by winning the Backyard Bowl against Jenks 24-17.
53 Desert Vista Phoenix AZ 1-1 45 @ Chandler
Stock Falling Desert Vista was able to shake off an opening season loss by beating Mesa 49-0.
54 Northwestern Miami FL 2-1 51 @ Booker T. Washington
Despite the 28-14 win we are not sold on Northwestern. A fierce rivalry is on the horizon as the Bulls are set to take on No. 84 Booker T. Washington this week.
55 Central Catholic Pittsburgh PA 2-1 52 @ Upper St. Clair
Well we saw early that the Vikings were not up to the task of taking on Lakeland (FL) we will see if they are deserving of this current ranking in the next three weeks against Upper St. Clair, Woodland Hills, and Penn Hills.
56 Quince Orchard North Potomac MD 2-0 53 @ Damascus
After barely sneaking by Wooton in the first game of the season it looks like the Cougars got it back together in their 25-6 win.
57 O'Dea Seattle WA 2-0 55 @ West Seattle - 9/19
O'Dea - who may have the most talent in Washington - defeated Central British Columbia 41-14 to keep pace with the other top teams in the state.
58 Edison Huntington Beach CA 2-0 57 @ Dana Hills
The Chargers made the scoreboard operator earn their keep last weekend with a 42 point second quarter en route to a 63-8 victory. They were off this week and play Dana Hills on the 19th.
59 Central Pickerington OH 4-0 64 @ Pickerington North
Pickerington Central has given up a total of 6 points in four games. Averaging a 29 to 2 win through four games is very impressive.
60 Buford Buford GA 3-0 59 @ Decatur
Buford looked very good (again) in winning 41-0 against Lovett. They have scored over 40 each week this season.
61 Westfield Houston TX 1-0 67 @ Memorial
Hurrican Ike shut down most of the Houston area games. The Mustangs are back in action next week against Memorial.
62 The Woodlands The Woodlands Tx 2-0 NR @ Kingwood
The Woodlands made two early season statements with back to back shutouts of Cy Fair and Katy. Their game this week was canceled.
63 Bear Creek Lakewood CO 3-0 61 vs Ponoma
Bear Creek may be a risk pick at No. 63, especially with very talented teams in Colorado, but we like the talent they have on the field - and that they just keep winning.
64 Chamberlain Tampa FL 2-0 NR @ Hillsborough
The Chiefs will go as far as Dontae Aycock will take them. So far it is into the Top 100 - winning 5A may get them higher.
65 Columbus Miami FL 2-0 NR @ Southridge
After seeing the Explorers dominate Palmetto last week, and beat Carol City this week we think Columbus may be the best team in Miami this year.
66 East Grand Rapids Grand Rapids MI 3-0 70 @ Reeths-Puffer
East Grand Rapids looked good back at home with a 21-7 victory. We still aren't sold this is the best team in Michigan, but we do know the West has been better than the East in the early going.
67 Upland Upland CA 2-0 71 @ Serrano
The Scots are starting to make more believers outside of the Inland Valley following a nice redemption win over Glendora. Josh Nunes was 17-for-29 for 286 yards and two touchdowns in the contest.
68 St. Louis Honolulu HI 3-0 NR @ Kamehameha
Traditional power St. Louis dominated Punahou 40-19 and re-asserted themselves as the team to beat in Hawaii.
69 Olive Branch Olive Branch MS 2-1 68 @ Treadwell
Olive Branch got back to the winning ways in a big gut check game for the Counquistadors. A 61-20 thrashing of Tradwell may have been just what they needed to get the disappointing loss last week out of their mouth.
70 Coldwater Coldwater OH 4-0 63 @ Anna
Coldwater keeps winning convincingly, however the quality of wins do raise some doubts. An undefeated season will keep them in the 100 though.
71 Trinity Louisville KY 2-0 70 vs St. Xavier (Ohio)
Trinity will get a chance to prove they are ready to take the next step by going out of state to battle No. 15 St. Xavier (Ohio).
72 Permian Odessa TX 3-0 71 @ Amarillo
Are the Mojo really back? So far so good with another victory for the Panthers.
73 St. Bonaventure Ventura CA 2-0 77 @ Jordan
St. Bonaventure is lead by uber-talented player in five-star athlete Patrick Hall. They still have to play Poly and Crespi back to back.
74 Servite Anaheim CA 2-0 81 @ Crespi
The Friars do not have a long list of superstar players but they get the job done. They will need to play a complete game against No. 36 Crespi this week.
75 Oaks Christian Westlake Village CA 2-0 NR @ Diamond Ranch
The high profile Lions make their debut in the RivalsHigh 100 at No. 75. Most likely they will stay there until they take on Oxnard Santa Clara.
76 McKeesport Mckeesport PA 2-1 84 @ Erie McDowell
It looks like the Tigers are putting the loss to Colerain far in their rearview mirror demolishing another WPIAL opponent, Connellsville, 67-7.
77 Brophy Prep Phoenix AZ 2-1 87 @ Salpointe Catholic
Brophy flashed some offense this week following a shutout loss last week, but how much to take of a 45-13 win over a questionable at best Horizon team.
78 Cairo Cairo GA 2-0 77 @ Munre (Fla.)
The Syrupmakers escaped with a 10-7 win over Thomasville. Lead by Angelo Pace - who threw for 129 yards and rushed for 76 more - Cairo stays in the Top 100.
79 Destrehan Destrehan LA 0-0 78 @ Terrebonne
Destrehan made an impressive run in 2007 and ended the year 15-0 with the 5A state championship. However, in 2008 they must deal with the loss of many of their top players. They return only five starters on offense. Fortunately, four of the returners are on the offensive line.
80 Saguaro Scottsdale AZ 2-0 65 vs Agua Fria
Going for a three peat in 4AI Arizona sees Saguaro stay in the national ranking, but slips behind the three 5A powers from Arizona.
81 McGill Toolen Mobile AL 4-0 89 @ Daphne
The Yellowjackets look primed to make another run at 6A finals following a 38-13 win on the road.
82 Bellevue Bellevue WA 2-0 100 @ California
Stock Rising Bellevue beat a top Washington team in Bothell 38-19 and they get a good bump in the ranking. They play a big game this weekend at Qwest Field.
83 Eden Prairie Eden Prairie MN 3-0 78 vs Lakeview North
Eden Prairie demolished the competition 42-14. They just run the ball down peoples throats and pass when needed, it has been the winning ticket for years, so why change it.
84 Booker T. Washington Miami FL 1-2 76 @ Northwestern
Stock Falling The Tornadoes are walking a very fine line for the national rankings. They were down 19 points before coming back to tie the game and eventually beat Central 44-39. The loser of the Miami Northwestern game will not be on this list next week.
85 Carmel Carmel IN 4-0 83 @ Lawrence North
Carmel used a much better defensive performance to regain their form with a 48-0 beating of South Vigo.
86 Muskegon Muskegon MI 3-0 90 @ Grand Haven
With the offense Muskegon has the Big Red may be the best team in Michigan. Another high scoring game as they beat West Ottawa 49-14.
87 Alta Sandy UT 4-0 86 @ Grant (Calif.)
Alta has been able to overcome a lot of key losses to graduation in the early going, and posting back to back shutouts may mean they have hit their stride. A battle to stay in the rankings awaits as they take on No. 93 Grant (Calif.).
88 Booker T. Washington Tulsa OK 2-0 88 vs Broken Arrow
Okay, it is now time to prove yourself. A 46-21 win over East Central is nice, but Broken Arrow is another animal all together.
89 Har-Ber Springdale AR 2-0 91 @ Coweta (Okla.)
The Wildcats show off the offense again with a 48-10 pasting of Alma. They will play host to out of state opponent Coweta (Okla.).
90 Mayfield Las Cruces NM 3-0 97 @ Cibola
Mayfield made an easy game of it against Carlsbad this week being up 42-0 at the half.
91 Independence Charlotte NC 2-0 94 vs Vance
Independence has a combined production of 96-3 in two games. Missing that Madison (Fla.) game is still something we are upset about.
92 Wayzata Plymouth MN 3-0 95 @ Apple Valley
The Trojans are now 3-0 and just hung 63 points on Robbinsdale Armstrong. They may take over the top spot in Minnesota next week.
93 Grant Sacramento CA 2-0 96 @ Alta (Utah)
Grant has the chance this week to prove they belong in the RivalsHigh 100 discussion against No. 87 Alta (Utah).
94 Maine South Park Ridge IL 2-0 98 @ Glenbrook North
The Hawks will play the Glenbrook North game on Monday because of flooding.
95 Arrowhead Hartland WI 3-0 99 @ West
A common theme in this week is back to back shutouts, which the Warhawks did this week as well with a 45-0 beating of Mukwonago.
96 Punahou Honolulu HI 3-1 28 @ St. Louis
Stock Falling Punahou fell hard in a 40-19 drubbing at the hands of traditional Hawaiian power, St. Louis.
97 Stony Point Round Rock TX 2-1 29 vs Westwood
Stock Falling We were nervous about the high ranking given to Stony Point this season and it came to bite us in a sloppy 9-3 loss at Waco this week.
98 St. Rita Chicago IL 3-0 NR @ Mt. Carmel
Mt. Carmel's surprising and disappointing loss made this move at least a week early. St. Rita earned a 45-6 win over Leo this weekend but may lose their spot in the Top 100 if they fall to the Caravan next week.
99 Jenks Jenks OK 1-1 58 @ Owasso
Stock Falling Jenks dropped a tough 24-17 decision to Union in the Backyard Bowl. They are so talented it is hard to drop them all the way out of the rankings at this point.
100 Rockhurst Kansas City MO 2-1 60 vs Mullen (CO)
The Hawklets lost an overtime game to Blue Springs this week 28-21. However with wins over Blue Springs South and Hutchinson they have enough on the resume to cling to the last spot in the 100. A loss to Mullen (CO) this week will have Rockhurst on the outside looking in however.
That would be Long Beach Poly your referring to? Cal Poly is a college on the Central Coast of California. They just recently beat SD State, and boasts alumni featuring John Madden, Chuck Liddell, and member of pop/ rap group The Timex Social Club who were one hit wanders with an 80's song called Rumours.
This weeks rankings for Los Angeles and Orange County, courtest of the LA Times.

I dont think people realize how many teams SoCal feeds. You got 30 players a year to Boise, 20 per Pac 10 team, except UCLA and SC where its about 60, 20 per Mountain West team, 30 per Wac team, then go around the country and find qbs, 2 at Ohio U via Socla juco for example.
