National high school football composite rankings, Week 4

Three

weeks of the 2026 high school football season are in the books.

Through the first three weeks, we have a good idea of who the top teams across the country are, with St. Thomas Aquinas sitting at the top of the Week 4 USA TODAY Sports Super 25 national high school football rankings.

USA TODAY Sports has developed composite rankings, using five different national polls (USA TODAY, MaxPreps, SC Next, HSFB America and Massey) to make up the composite rankings. Each is weighted differently to give the rankings its credibility.
