Ten New Teams Enter USA Today Super 25 & National Prep Football Poll

With a two week lag between the release of its pre-season Super 25 and the first weekly poll, there are plenty of changes in the USA Today Super 25 released today. Six new teams enter this week's rankings. Not as many newcomers (four) in PrepNation.com's National Prep Football Poll because this week's Top 25 is the website's fourth poll of the year.

However, both do agree that St. Thomas Aquinas is the cream-of-the-crop as both have the Raiders holding strong at #1.

The Woodlands (TX) is the highest debuter at #12 in the USA Today poll after dropping former #3 Katy 31-27. Katy falls to #13. Miami Central (FL) debuts at #16 in the National Prep Football Poll after a solid 34-3 win over Mainland.
