Week 5 of the 2024 Ohio high school football season is all wrapped up, and High School on SI will produce computer rankings every week for the remainder of the season.

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