Video: Xcellent 25 Football Rankings presented by the Army National GuardLone 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

PrepNation's National Prep Poll.
