Video: Xcellent 25 High School Football Rankings
See who made the jump into the rankings and who dropped out.
The top five in the Composite rankings remained unchanged, while three schools climbed into the rankings including Union (Tulsa, Okla.) for the first time this season. The perennial Sooner State powerhouse has steamrolled to a 9-0 mark so far this season. Lowndes (Valdosta, Ga.) and St. Louis (Honolulu) also entered the rankings.
Bishop Gorman dropped out of the Top 10 despite a 43-0 win over Sierra Vista (Las Vegas).
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.
