The biggest news in the high school football world this week has been the decision by the No. 1/SN No. 1 IMG Academy [Bradenton, FL] Ascenders to cancel their final regular-season game against the No. 4/SN No. 4 St. Frances Academy [Baltimore, MD] Panthers.
The game might have determined the consensus national champion and, possibly, AllSportsPeople High School Football National Champion, but the decision by the Ascenders to back out of the contest has opened the door for several other teams to move ahead of the boys from the Sunshine State in the weeks to come. A win in that game would have been the biggest of the season for either team and a major bullet point on their respective resumes in the national title discussion.
IMG Academy is still No. 1 in both AllSportsPeople High School Football Top 25 and AllSportsPeople Composite Rankings, but without a marquee win over St. Frances Academy to close the season, the Ascenders have taken their destiny out of their own hands and will need a lot of help over the next few weeks to hold onto the No. 1 position. California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas are all just beginning the playoffs this weekend, and the top teams in those states will continue to build their national championship resumes while IMG Academy and St. Frances Academy can only watch from the sidelines.
The biggest loser in this scenario is, of course, St. Frances Academy which – through no fault of its own – has lost its biggest remaining opportunity to embellish its own resume. The Panthers occupy the top spot in both MaxPreps and SI's Power 25, and it remains to be seen if they can maintain that position throughout the rest of November and December to claim at least a share of the title.

National Week 13 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! For example, there are currently five teams (Bixby, Grayson, IMG Academy, St. Francis Academy, and Southlake Carroll) holding down the No. 1 position in at least one of the various rankings that make up AllSportsPeople Composite Rankings.
Teams ranked in our composite index include the Top 25 from each of the following rankings:
- SN – AllSportsPeople 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:
