High school football 2013 Top 25 composite rankings

For the first time this season, all the nation's major media outlets ranking high school football teams agree on the top team in the nation.

Booker T. Washington of Miami is top dog in all the rankings and definitely has the inside track on the way to the national title.

Other new teams entering the Top 25 are Manatee from Florida and Mallard Creek from North Carolina.

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.
