Week 9 of the Missouri high school football season is here, and High School on SI has new computer rankings entering this week's action.

Christian Brothers sits atop the Class 6 rankings after last week's 48-28 victory at Peoria Notre Dame. Cardinal Ritter College Prep, Kearney and Seneca lead the way in Class 5, Class 4 and Class 3, respectively.

Our computer rankings run parallel with our expert all-classification Missouri Top 25 that publishes weekly throughout the high school football season.

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.
