National Week 10 high school football composite rankings: St. John Bosco, Bixby still splitting the No. 1 votes

National Week 10 high school football composite rankings: St. John Bosco, Bixby still splitting the No. 1 votes originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

The St. John Bosco [Bellflower, CA] Braves remain the No. 1 team in the The Sporting News Composite Rankings, and they continue to chip away at the Bixby [OK] Spartans' loose grip on the No. 1 position in the Massey Ratings. St. John Bosco now has 199 of a possible 200 points in our composite index after moving up to the No. 2 position on the Massey list this week.

Bosco is still the No. 1 team in the other seven rankings that comprise the SN composite index. That includes The Sporting News High School Football Top 25 where the Braves are entering their fourth week in the top spot.

Bixby, for the record, is only ranked No. 25 in SN's list, but the Spartans appear to have a clear path to an undefeated season at least until they get to Oklahoma's OSSAA playoffs. They should be able to move up if any ranked teams above them in the SN Top 25 ultimately lose in the weeks to come.

National Week 10 high school football composite rankings

Every week, we compile the rankings from eight different national selectors to create an all-in-one composite list of the teams in the order of most points accumulated.

The main reason? There is no consensus!

Take for instance the aforementioned Bixby Spartans of Oklahoma. As noted, Bixby is now ranked No. 1 in the Massey Ratings while they are only ranked No. 25 heading into their third week in The Sporting News High School Football Top 25. Despite holding that top position in the Massey Ratings, Bixby isn't even ranked in two of the other selector lists used to compile the SN Composite Rankings as they've yet to crack the Top 25 in ESPN or High School Football America.

Teams ranked in our composite index include the Top 25 from each of the following rankings:

• SN – The Sporting News High School Football Top 25
• BSM – Blue Star Media Elite 25
• ESP – ESPN Top 25
• HFA – High School Football America Top 300
• MAS – Massey Ratings
• MAX – MaxPreps National Football Rankings
• S25 – Sports Illustrated National High School Football Power 25
• USA – USA Today Super 25

A first place vote is worth 25 points, second place worth 24 points, third place worth 23 points ... and so forth through 25th place which nets one point. With eight polls in use, a consensus top-ranked team receives up to 200 points. When possible, ties are resolved in order of the team ranked by the most selectors followed by the team receiving the highest ranking from any one or more selectors; if they are still tied, then we will try to resolve the tie by the team receiving the lowest ranking from any one or more selectors. If it is still tied, we will note it as a (tie) in parentheses.

Here are this week's top 25 teams in our composite rankings:
