Nine 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 in the state.

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