Public Groups 3-4-5 

Last week, the top thirteen teams remained intact from the week before with none of them losing. This week it’s the top twelve teams and only two Top 25 teams lost last week; the same as a week ago. With the playoffs getting to the semi-finals, I expect that to change. As I always say, the cream eventually rises to the top and remember, I do not penalize teams for losing to the good Catholic school teams.
