Welcome to T25PS.com: A New Home for Public High School Football
A permanent home for national rankings, original coverage, research projects, team features and everything still to come.
For the past several months, Top 25 Public HSFB has continued to grow into something much larger than a social media account.
Today, we are officially launching T25PS.com--a permanent home for our national rankings, original coverage, research projects, team features, and everything still to come.
Why We Built T25PS.com
Public high school football deserves a platform built specifically around it.
Across the country, thousands of public-school programs represent their communities every Friday night. Many compete against nationally recognized private powers, navigate completely different playoff systems, and build championship-level programs without receiving the same consistent national attention.
Top 25 Public HSFB was created to help close that gap.
Our goal is not simply to publish another national ranking. It is to build the most complete and trusted source for public high school football in the country.
T25PS.com gives that coverage a permanent home.
Social media will remain an important part of what we do, but posts move quickly and can be difficult to find months later. The website allows readers to revisit rankings, explore full editorial series, read deeper analysis, and follow the stories shaping public-school football across the United States.
What You'll Find on the Site
#PublicSchoolsTop25 Rankings
The Rankings section will serve as the official archive for every national ranking release.
Throughout the 2026 season, readers will be able to find the latest rankings, previous editions, movement from week to week, supporting analysis, and additional context behind the decisions.
That begins on July 2 with the release of our 2026 Preseason Public Schools Top 100.
National Coverage and Original Analysis
The Coverage section will feature national stories, program spotlights, rankings analysis, major developments, and original reporting focused on public high school football.
Our coverage will extend beyond the teams inside the Top 25. There are important programs, players, coaches, games, and stories in every part of the country, and the website will give us room to cover them with more depth than a single social media post allows.
Complete Editorial Series
Some of our largest projects now have a permanent and organized home.
That includes our 50-state series ranking the top five public high school football programs in every state from 2021 through 2025, followed by the National Top 40.
It also includes our Teams to Know: 2026 series, which introduced 70 programs from across the country entering the upcoming season.
Future series will be added to the archive as the platform continues to grow.
Free Reader Accounts
Readers can create a free account and optionally provide their state and favorite team.
Accounts will help us learn where our audience is located, which programs readers follow, and how we can make future coverage more useful. Email updates are completely optional and will be reserved for major rankings, featured stories, important series, and significant site announcements.
What Comes Next
The launch of T25PS.com is the beginning, not the finished product.
The site will continue to evolve as more rankings, articles, historical projects, and original features are published. Over time, we plan to make it easier to explore coverage by team, state, season, and series.
The immediate focus is the 2026 season.
Our preseason Public Schools Top 100 releases July 2. From there, we will continue building toward weekly national rankings, major game coverage, team features, and deeper analysis throughout the fall.
Every ranking will be built around verified information--not reputation alone. Returning production, roster talent, schedule strength, coaching continuity, recent results, playoff classification, offseason developments, and each program's overall outlook will all be part of the evaluation.
The rankings will create debate. That is part of what makes high school football great. But the goal will always be to do the research, explain the decisions, correct mistakes when necessary, and produce the most informed public-school rankings possible.
Built for the Public-School Football Community
This platform would not exist without the coaches, players, parents, reporters, photographers, fans, and program representatives who have shared information, answered questions, submitted team questionnaires, corrected records, and followed the project.
Your support has helped turn a small idea into a growing national platform.
We are still early in the journey, but the mission is clear:
Build the most trusted national home for public high school football.
Welcome to T25PS.com.
