37 teams!
The MaxPreps Computer is a beautiful thing.
🤠🏈🤠
Florida had 12 teams in the MaxPreps 150 last year.
Either Florida sucked very badly (they did) or California was kicking some serious football ass!
🤠🏈🤠
Texas had 15 teams in the MaxPreps 150 this past year.
California had more teams in the MaxPreps 150 then Texas and Florida combined.
🤠🏈🤠
Other notables
Arizona 7
North Carolina 6
Indiana 4
Louisiana 3
Illinois 3
Mississippi 3
Colorado 3
Georgia had 15 teams in the MaxPreps Top 150 this past year
Florida, Texas, Georgia- 40 teams
California- 37 teams
🤠🏈🤠
That's great stuff, Redzone!
Little states don't have a chance with the computer!
Louisiana with 3 seems right. John Curtis beat Cathedral who lost to 2-8 St Francis. St Francis was ranked in the 2,500's.
Arkansas had 1 team In the MaxPreps Top 150> Bryant
Arkansas's #2 team Bentonville barely made the MaxPreps Top 500
https://www.maxpreps.com/ar/bentonville/bentonville-tigers/football/
Bentonville has a solid record playing OOS games.
They're 27-15 in OOS games and they scared a lot of big name teams along the way.
I don't think I'm going to use MaxPreps any longer other than for schedules and scores because their rankings are complete bullshit that kids may believe.

What little states deserve a lot of teams ranked?

If you want to sell CA having 37 teams in the California based MaxPreps Top 150, DO IT.
If not stop wasting our time yet again.

This California team was very close to making the MaxPreps Top 150... (3-7) Jserra Catholic > couldn't even beat Damien whoever the fuck that is.

MaxPrep's shit on Bentonville, AR and similar teams around the nation.
Complete garbage!

Complete garbage!
They have one of the top 5 toughest schedules in the country.
They could have went 11-1 playing garbage like Neville, Ruston, Cathedral, Oak Grove, Legacy etc etc and no one would have batted an eye at their top 150 ranking.
JSerra played 10 better opponents in 2025 alone then the entire state of Louisiana has in OOS games in 20 years.
Bixby beat #763 Owasso in the Oklahoma 6A State champ Game. 👇
https://www.maxpreps.com/ok/owasso/owasso-rams/football/
Cathedral (Los Angeles) finished the year ranked #673 Nationally and would have been a Top 8 Oklahoma team.
So in reality John Curtis beat a Top 8 Oklahoma team 55-24.
🤠🏈🤠
You just cannot make this kind of stuff up.

Number 4 in La SHOULD beat number 8 in Oklahoma. And if Curtis scheduled Owasso, the reaction would have been the same as scheduling Cathedral.
I'd think ranking that many teams would be hard. I saw one "ranking " on this site last year that only could manage to rank 15 teams? And even then it wasn't even weekly, sporadic at times. 😂

I don't see a problem here. What's the issue?
(6-6) Inglewood, CA would have been the #2 team in Arkansas.
https://www.maxpreps.com/ca/inglewood/inglewood-sentinels/football/
Reality? Inglewood could barely beat a 3-7 Texas team last year 43-42
MaxPreps loves them some California. Fact!
When something is so obvious it's just obvious!
Bullshit!

But it had 85 "others." Be fair.

Actually I did get a laugh at the "others" in his poll.
Maybe this year we will get a "just missed approximately 14722 other teams"!
I'm seriously considering doing a "Redzone No Drama Top 10" this year.
The Redzone Red Hot Top 15 really had me stressed out last year and there was just entirely too much drama involved. 🤠🏈🤠
Being no one is going to use garbage MaxPreps any longer we need somebody that can rank 15,000 high school teams and nail it
The Hillbilly said he can do about 100 of them. 🤠🏈🤠

So, now we are going to get a Redneck Cajun Top 10? I can't wait.......
Such a tough task ranking ten teams.

I smiled at that, too, but don't tell him.

You went from the Navy Seal top 30 to the Red Hot Top 15. To be consistent you should offer us the Pretty Good Top 7.5

He doesn't know shit about football. Kind of a dealbreaker to rank teams.

Oh I figure by October the poll will dwindle and be rebranded the Fabulous 4 and by December the Terrific 2.

More like #1 and 99 just missed
I think having between 99 and 100 "just missed" teams in a Top 100 adds credibility to a poll.
Does anyone truly believe there is only 1 McCallie, TN out there? 🏈🤠🏈

Well, there's Baylor right down the road from them in Chattanooga. They are the exact same type of school.

Louisiana 0 wins in 19 years unlike Mcallie.

Fascinating!
Quote from: Steeler01 on Apr 29, 2026, 02:39 PMLouisiana 0 wins in 19 years unlike Mcallie.
I gave Red Flag a 10 year window to post the most epic and memorable OOS wins for Lousiana, and all he gave was 3 loss Mississippi team and a 3 loss TAPPS team.
That's what you're dealing with.
