A pair of Georgia teams are on the rise in this week's Top 25 composite rankings after impressive wins.
The average ranking of
Buford (Ga.) went from 8.3 to 5.6 after beating previous No. 4 St. Frances Academy 18-0 on Friday. Blue Star Media and National HSFB are the lone ranking services to have the Wolves outside the Top 5.
Langston Hughes (Fairburn, Ga.) jumped up seven spots because of an impressive road win over powerhouse in-state rival Carrollton. The Panthers have an average rank of 15.3 and fall within the Top 20 of all six polls.
The composite rankings span a spectrum of methodologies from computer algorithms by CalPreps and High School Football America to the MaxPreps Top 25, the writer's poll with nearly two decades of tradition, and more recent lists like SB Live, Blue Star Media and National HSFB.
To be considered for the Top 25 composite rankings a team must be included in two or more Top 25 media outlets. Teams were assigned a score of 40 for each media outlet that did not recognize them as part of their Top 25, rewarding teams that received consensus acclaim.
