The state of Texas began its season this past Friday and defending Class 6A Division II state champion
DeSoto looked like a national contender knocking off
Creekside (Fairburn, Ga.) 70-0. The convincing win helped the Eagles jump three spots to No. 4 this week.
The composite rankings incorporate computer algorithms by CalPreps and High School Football America along with expert rankings like the MaxPreps Top 25, SB Live, Blue Star Media, SC Next and National HSFB.
To be considered for the media composite top 25 a team must be included in the rankings by two or more media outlets. 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.
Central Florida commit Jayvan Boggs caught 11 passes for 222 yards and four touchdowns to help Cocoa, ranked No. 11 in this week's media composite top 25, beat Mainland 51-0. Next up for the Tigers is No. 7 IMG Academy. (Photo: Mark Fletcher)
