URBANDALE, Iowa -- Centennial (Corona, Calif.) moved into the National Prep Football Poll, giving California five teams in the week-six national Top 25.

The Huskies completely outclassed Orange County powerhouse Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) in a 44-13 victory that they led 37-0 at halftime. It's the first time Centennial been nationally ranked since the final poll of 2008, when it finished the season ranked No. 2.

Then-No. 21 St. Peter's (Jersey City, N.J.) was the only nationally ranked team to lose last week. The Marauders dropped back into the regional rankings after losing 21-17 to St. Joseph (Montvale).

The top of the rankings is largely the same with Trinity (Euless, Texas) at No. 1 for the sixth straight week followed by South Panola (Batesville, Miss.) at No. 2. St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) made a small but significant move up two spots in this week's rankings to No. 3, followed by Grant (Sacramento, Calif.) and Hoover (Ala.).

The National Prep Football Poll is compiled by high school sports journalist Jamie DeMoney with input from sportswriters, experts, and coaches. The national Top 25 and regional Top 10's follow with won-loss records:
