Louisiana high school football computer rankings (10/21/2024)

High School on SI's custom rankings formula for every division of Louisiana high school football ahead of Week 8

Parker Waters

Seven weeks of the 2024 Louisiana high school football season have come and gone and High School on SI is rolling out its updated computer rankings for the best LHSAA 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.
