Michigan high school football computer rankings: Lake Orion takes the top D1 spot (10/16/2023) /

Michigan high school football enters the final week of the regular season, and SBLive Sports had released division computer rankings to see where each team stacks up as we approach the playoffs.

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.
