The Top 10 was fairly easy to figure out, with Delbarton proving its top ranking with a 5-1 win on the road against St. John Vianney, but Nos. 11-20 were very difficult because almost every team has a reprehensible loss or a tie in the past two weeks.

Check out the White/Blue Top 20 ranking for lower-division teams.
