High school football 2015 Top 25 Composite Rankings

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

Something will give this Saturday, as No. 1 St. John Bosco and No. 3 Centennial face off for the Pac-5 title in Southern California.

Bishop Gorman, meanwhile, stays at No. 2. New teams entering include Mill Creek of Georgia, perennial Tennessee power Maryville and Eastside Catholic from Washington.

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.
