High school football 2015 Top 25 Composite Rankings

Video: Mainland barely pulls off trick play
Watch the No. 27 team in the rankings pull off an unconventional 2-point conversion.

The top nine teams in the Composite Rankings switched spots here and there but all remained in the top nine. Look lower on the list and plenty more turnover occurred.

McEachern, Bergen Catholic, Colerain, Westfield and Mater Dei all made their entrances into the rankings this week. And up top, Bishop Gorman stayed strong after driving up to Utah and winning.

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 writers' rankings, the MaxPreps Computer Rankings, USA Today Super 25 Expert Rankings and PrepNation's National Prep Poll.
