The top two teams in the country were idle this past week, along with No.4 IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) and No. 17 Liberty (Peoria, Ariz.). Meanwhile, the Super 25 teams in action handled the competition with relative ease, holding ground in the latest rankings.
The methodology: the HSS staff creates the Super 25 rankings while considering various data points, including strength of schedule, prospects, the more traditional stats—did the team win or lose?—as well as overall point differentials.
