Week 6 of the 2024 Nevada high school football season is here and High School on SI is commencing its first computer rankings of the season.

The Faith Lutheran Crusaders, ranked number one, hold off Bishop Gorman in this week's 5A computer rankings as the 5-0 leaders hope to continue their unbeaten streak this Friday against Sierra Vista. Bishop Gorman takes the road against Liberty in hopes to take over the top spot.

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.
