High school football Top 25 composite rankings

Video: Top 10 Games of the Week
A huge Texas showdown between Duncanville and DeSoto leads this week's top games.

While there was no movement among the Composite's Top 5, Ben Davis (Indianapolis) jumped up three spots to No. 6 and Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) moved back into the Top 10 for the first time since its September loss to No. 1 Mater Dei.

Northwestern (Miami) and St. John's (Washington, D.C.) are back in the Composite 25.

Only schools recognized by two or more media outlets are eligible for inclusion in the composite rankings. Teams were assigned a score of 40 for each media outlet that did not recognize them as part of their Top 25, rewarding teams that received consensus acclaim.
