Eight weeks of the 2024 Arkansas high school football season have passed, and High School on SI is rolling out its updated computer rankings featuring the best AAA teams in the state.

Bryant continues to hold the top spot in 7A after a dominant victory over Cabot last week.

Greenwood surpassed Shiloh Christian as the top-ranked team in 6A. Valley View still holds the No. 1 spot in 5A. 

SBLive’s formula was created using its linear algebra-based ranking algorithm inspired by the Colley Bias-Free Ranking Method. Colley’s Method was created by Wes Colley, Ph.D., an astrophysicist at the University of Alabama at Huntsville. He devised his algorithm to help address the subjectivity and controversy regarding BCS college football selections in the 1990s and early 2000s, using a method that used no subjective variables.
