Public Groups 3-4-5 

The top three remain unchanged; but there are changes underneath. Overall, it’s pretty stable. The fourth and fifth-ranked teams both lost, which generated some movement. As I have said before, I generally do not penalize teams for losing to a good Catholic school and the top team did just. Therefore, they are still the top ranked team.
