Week 8 of the 2024 Indiana high school football season has concluded, and High School on SI is continuing its weekly computer rankings for the season.

After a dominant performance last Friday, the Warren Central Warriors found themselves in the top five of this week's 6A Indiana computer rankings. Look for the Warriors to continue their momentum this Friday, when they hit the road to play Cathedral.

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.
