Ohio High School Football Computer Rankings (10/14/2024)

Ohio High School Football Computer Rankings (10/14/2024)

Eight weeks into the 2024 Ohio high school football season, High School on SI releases its updated computer rankings for the state’s top OHSAA teams.

SBLive’s formula was created using a proprietary linear algebra-based ranking algorithm inspired by the Colley Bias-Free Ranking method. Colley’s method was developed by Wes Colley, Ph.D., an astrophysicist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. He developed his algorithm to address the subjectivity and controversy surrounding BCS college football selection in the 1990s and early 2000s using a method that did not use subjective variables.

Our computer rankings run alongside SBLive’s human performance rankings – the nation’s top 25 – which are published at the beginning of each week.

Archbishop Moeller, the No. 1-ranked team in the SBLive/SI Ohio High School Football Top 25 Overall Rankings, is also the No. 1-ranked team in our Division I Computer Rankings, Archbishop Moeller.

Which teams took the top spot in each division? Here are SBLive’s latest Ohio high school football computer rankings, as of: October 14, 2024:
