While it’s usually the big schools that get all of the notice in the various ranking services, High School Football America believes that there’s great level being played at all levels of the game. That’s why, beginning this year, we’re adding a Medium Schools and Small Schools Top 25 to our National Top 25. All of our polls are created with our proprietary algorithm.
