High school football Top 25 composite rankings

Video: Top 10 Games of the Week
See MaxPreps host Zack Poff break down this week's top games.

Mission Viejo joins the Top 25 after impressive back-to-back statement wins over Long Beach Poly and Santa Margarita.

Mater Dei remains at No. 1 overall, but the computers flip the top spots, giving overall No. 2 IMG Academy the top nod, while the Monarchs come in second.

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.
