FHSAA Open Division projections: Newman football still in after loss

The updated MaxPreps rankings were released on Sunday, Oct. 11. Perhaps the biggest news is that Cardinal Newman remained in the top eight despite losing 20-7 to Chaminade-Madonna in Week 8. Technically, factoring in Carol City being ineligible for postseason play , Cardinal Newman actually moved up a spot. The only new addition to the Open Division from last week is Miami Central, which has won four in a row since losing at national power Buford (Georgia) in Week 4. Undefeated Columbia, the top-ranked team in Class 4A , moved up to No.
