High school football 2013 Top 25 composite rankings

Most states have started playing games by now, so the Composite Rankings are really starting to take shape.

North Gwinnett (Suwanee, Ga.) and St. Edward (Lakewood, Ohio) join the Top 25 this week after strong performances, while DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.) moves into the Top 10.

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.
