Lone Peak (Highland, Utah), Steele (Cibolo, Texas) and Trinity Christian Academy (Jacksonville, Fla.) have all moved into the Composite Top 25 - and with the way playoff football has gone so far, they have great chances of moving up because top-ranked teams are hardly immune from losses.

Steele still isn't a part of the Xcellent 25 while Lone Peak moved in on Sunday. Trinity Christian Academy has been established in the rankings.

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 weight into its average. We chose for national polls that have produced rankings for at least five years. The four polls include the MaxPreps Xcellent 25 National Football Rankings presented by the Army National Guard, the MaxPreps Computer Rankings, USA Today Super 25 Expert Rankings and PrepNation's National Prep Poll.
