High school football 2013 Top 25 composite rankings

In the second edition of the MaxPreps Top 25 Football Composite Rankings, the top team remains unchanged, but there is turnover just below.

Washington (Miami) moves up a spot after national polls responded after a 55-0 thrashing of Norcross (Ga.), and Norcross drops completely out of any national consideration.

With many teams set to begin their seasons this week, this may be the final week of little movement.

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.
