Week 6 National Prep Football Poll released

WAUKEE, Iowa -- Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.) could become only the second team in the 28-year history of the National Prep Poll to win a third mythical national championship. With two wins over current or former Top 25 teams already on its resume, Don Bosco jumped from No. 3 to No. 1 in the national rankings despite not playing last week. If the Ironmen finish the year unbeaten against a tough schedule, they could join De La Salle as the only football team with more than two Prep Poll titles. (De La Salle has six.)

Compiled weekly weekly since 1987 and distributed by World Features Syndicate and the Associated Press, the National Prep Poll is the nation's second oldest weekly high school sports rankings. Doug Huff compiled the rankings from 1987 until 1999. Jamie DeMoney has compiled the poll since the start of the 1999 basketball season to the present.

PrepNation.com was originally launched August 1, 2001 by Jamie DeMoney for the purpose of creating a permanent online home for the National Prep Poll football and boys basketball rankings.

The National Prep Poll is the only high school poll distributed to newspapers and websites around the United States by the Associated Press.

Among the criteria used in the weekly compilation of the National Prep Poll rankings are strength of schedule, the ability to accomplish the ultimate goal on a team's schedule (i.e. winning a championship), impact players and performers, a team's coaching and recent tradition.
