High school football 2013 Top 25 composite rankings

National media have taken notice of Miramar and Bishop Gorman, and MaxPreps has rewarded Alemany for its hot start.

In this week's edition of the composite rankings, those three schools are the newest entries into the top 25. Miramar (three) and Bishop Gorman (four) have found their way into the Top 25 of more than two polls, while Southern California power Alemany is recognized in the MaxPreps Xcellent 25 and Computer 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 weigh into its average.
