High school football 2014 Top 25 composite rankings

Colquitt County has started the season off with two big wins, including a 35-14 triumph over Hoover. The Packers' hot start has them at No. 18 in this week's Composite Rankings.

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.
