Southwest regional high school football rankings: Bishop Gorman gaining on Mater Dei (9/27/2023)

The best team in Nevada might be the best team in the country

Mater Dei nearly slipped up in its cross-country trek to St. Frances Academy of Baltimore last week. Bishop Gorman sits ready to take over the top spot in SBLive's Southwest regional high school football rankings - and national rankings - should the Monarchs stumble down the stretch.

SBLive's Southwest regional rankings include teams from California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Hawaii.
