High school football 2015 Top 25 Composite Rankings

Video: Xcellent 25 Football Rankings - September 14

St. John Bosco's climb in the Xcellent 25 also moved the Braves up in the Composite Rankings, going from ninth to sixth after voyaging to beat Central Catholic (Portland, Ore.).

Also, Cedar Hill (Texas) climbed four spots thanks to its win over Skyline (Dallas). Another team moving up is Bergen Catholic (Oradell, N.J.).

Three new teams make their entrance into the rankings: Jenks (Okla.), Mainland (Daytona Beach, Fla.) and La Salle (Cincinnati).

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. We chose four 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.
