The Louisiana high school football regular season wrapped up last week, and now we take a look at our updated state computer rankings entering the playoffs.

Alexandria sits atop the 5A computer rankings, with Edna Karr at No. 2 and Neville at No. 3.

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.
