Another week of the 2024 New Jersey high school football season is in the rear-view mirror, and High School on SI is rolling the latest version its state computer rankings.

The Bergen Catholic Crusaders take over the No. 1 spot in the latest SFC - Super computer rankings after an important victory against St. Joseph Regional Friday. Just behind them in the No. 2 position are the Cedar Grove Panthers after dominating the Boonton Bombers with a 56-23 victory.

The latest Shore computer rankings have Toms River North staying at the head of the pack at No. 1 as they continue to stay undefeated after taking down Donovan Catholic.

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.

Our computer rankings, released weekly, run parallel to SBLive's human power rankings — the statewide top 25 — released early each week.
