The 2024 Ohio high school football regular season is in the books, and High School on SI is rolling out its updated computer rankings heading into the OHSAA playoffs.

Archbishop Moeller continues to hold the top spot in Division I after staying hot with a win over a Michigan squad last week, while Walsh Jesuit sits No. 1 in Division II.

Kirtland took over the top spot in Division VI thanks to the Division VII leader, Marion Local, shutting out Coldwater last week.

Our computer rankings run in tandem with our expert Top 25 in Ohio high school football.

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.
