Booker T. Washington (Miami) finished ranked No. 1 in three of the four media outlets used to determine the MaxPreps Top 25 Composite Rankings. That earned them the Composite Ranking National Champion title this season.

A total of 13 teams finished in the Top 25 of all four polls.

A total of eight teams started the season ranked in the Top 25 Composite Preseason Rankings and finished in the Top 25. Booker T. Washington started the season with 5.17 average rank. The Tornadoes beat the preseason No. 1-ranked team Central (Miami) 28-17 in September. See our story from that game.

In order to be considered for these rankings, a team must be ranked in two national polls. If it does not land in all four, the team will be given a 40 to weigh into its average.
