Understanding the Super 25 Selection Process
The USA TODAY Sports Girls Flag Football Super 25 rankings are not based solely on a team’s current performance but are determined through a careful selection process that involves both historical and current data. In partnership with the NFL, a selection committee made up of editors and writers from the USA TODAY Network, as well as members of the USA TODAY High School Sports staff, evaluates each team. The rankings consider various factors, such as last year’s performance based on data from the NFHS Network, a team’s progress over the current season, and a primary focus on their 2024 records and overall performance.
The selection committee aims to recognize teams that are not only performing well at the moment but have consistently demonstrated excellence throughout the season.
