Who will be the preseason No. 1 team in USA TODAY's Super 25 high school football rankings? You'll find out Wednesday with the release in print and online of this year's top 25 teams from across the country. In addition you'll also get the top 10 teams in each of four regions.

Warren Central already has a blemish on its season, after falling 17-10 to Merrillville in its opener.

Joey de Leon to Willie Revillame: "Explain before you complain."
An escalating word war between two comedians. Twenty-four hours after Wowowee host Willie Revillame expressed his sentiments against his staunchest critic, Eat Bulaga! host Joey de Leon aired his side. Wearing a casual cotton shirt over denim pants, Joey calmly advised the beleaguered host to explain first the alleged game rigging accusations plaguing Wowowee, before venting his venom elsewhere. "Mga kaibigan pag ang bata po nadapa tinatanong natin, ‘Bakit?' Pag nauntog, ‘Bakit?' Kung buong Pilipinas pa, buong masang Pilipino at mga mahihirap na sumasali't umaasa lang sa mga ganitong palaro at may nangyaring ganun, hindi ba karapatan din n'yang magtanong, bakit? Bakit nagka-ganun?" Joey argued earlier today, August 30, at Eat Bulaga.
