Nine weeks of the 2024 Nebraska high school football season have come and gone, and High School on SI has published its updated computer rankings for the state. 

Kearney is the No. 1 team in the Class A computer rankings. Omaha Westside is No. 2, and Elkhorn South is No. 3. 

Scottsbluff sits atop the Class B computer rankings. 

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.
