High school football 2014 Top 25 composite rankings

View on YouTube

Chandler's climb back into national prominence has been a long one. The Wolves avenged their only loss of the season (to Mountain Pointe) and will play for Arizona's premier state title matchupon Friday.

Also in the rankings now is Webb City, a Missouri powerhouse that just never seems to slow down. The Cardinals will play for a state title this week.

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.
