St. Thomas Aquinas remains No. 1 in Florida Super 25 football poll

St. Thomas Aquinas reinforced its status as the No. 1 team in the state, while Columbus gears up for another huge matchup.

The Raiders remain No. 1 in the USA TODAY Florida Super 25 after beating No. 3 Columbus 31-24 in Week 3. Aquinas has been the No, 1 team in the rankings since the preseason poll.

IMG Academy, which routed St. Louis (Hawaii) 41-0 in Week 3, still is No. 2.

Despite the loss at Aquinas, Columbus remains at No. 3. The Explorers schedule doesn't get any easier. After a neutral site game against Bishop Gorman (Nevada) and a road game against Aquinas, Columbus now travels to No. 13 Miami Palmetto in the District 16-6A opener.
