Public Groups 3-4-5 

This week’s jump is newcomer Sayreville, courtesy of their win over Piscataway. I made a small change this year: if a team lost to a Catholic school, I have a “C” after their record. I generally do not penalize a team for losing to a Catholic school. It is a loose poll, and the cream will rise to the top.
