Kansas high school football computer rankings (10/21/2024)
Seven weeks of the 2024 Kansas high school football have come and gone and High School on SI is rolling out this week's updated KSHSAA computer rankings for the best teams in the state.
SBLive's formula was created using its own 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 in order 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.
Which teams took the top spot in each of the KSHSAA classifications? Here are SBLive's latest Kansas high school football computer rankings, as of October 21, 2024:
