Liberty also is the top central Ohio team in this week's USA Today Network Ohio Super 25 rankings.
Olentangy Liberty's Tyler Thornton may have questioned this call Friday against Gahanna Lincoln, but there's no questioning the Patriots' play so far this season. They are 3-0 and ranked No. 1 in our central Ohio Top 10 poll.
The central Ohio Top 10 ranks teams regardless of division. Each voter submits a Top 10 with a first-place vote worth 10 points, a second-place vote worth nine and so on down to one point for 10th.
