Consistency is key to Oscar Smith earning the title of Virginia's most dominant football program since MaxPreps became America's source for high school sports.

The Tigers have a significant number of title game appearances and state titles (four and two, respectively) but that number doesn't lead the way in the state, as other programs have had more finals appearances. What wins the title for Oscar Smith is reaching the Top 25 in the computer rankings every year since 2006.

How important is that? No. 2 Phoebus has five state titles and still trails Oscar Smith.

Larger schools dominate the list. Still, a Class 3 power reached the No. 15 spot in Brookville thanks to two titles and another runner-up finish.

Here is how the points break down:

1. 20 for a state title

2. 10 for a state championship game appearance

3. Other points are based on where a team finished in the final MaxPreps Virginia Football Computer Rankings presented by the Army National Guard. For example, if a team finished No. 1 overall, it would receive 25 points. If it finished 25th overall, the team would get one point. No points are awarded if the team did not finish in the Top 25.
