Week 8 of the 2024 New Mexico high school football season is in the books, and High School on SI has published its latest computer rankings of the season in the state.

Volcano Vista has once again retained the No. 1 spot in the latest Class 6A computer rankings remaining undefeated after a 33-0 victory against Rio Rancho Friday. The Hawks continue their dominant defensive performances this season only allowing double digit scoring in one game thus far. There is a new No. 2 team in the rankings as the La Cueva Bears take over that position.

A quick look at the Class 5A rankings shows Roswell remaining in the No. 1 position. Followed by a new No. 2 team, the Gadsden Panthers after their 32-28 victory on Friday.

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.
