High school football 2013 Top 25 composite rankings

It was a tame weekend in high school football. Top-ranked teams all across the nation took care of business and won their games, meaning that national rankings didn't move much.

The major move to talk about is that the MaxPreps Computer Rankings bumped Booker T. Washington of Miami out of the top spot and added DeSoto of Texas in that place. It's still not enough to move Washington out of its spot, though.

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.
