Ahead of Week 10 of the South Carolina high school football season, High School on SI has published its computer rankings for this week.

South Carolina High School League (SCHSL) Class AAAAA continues sees Dutch Fork keep the No. 1 spot at 7-0. Northwestern is 9-0 and stay at No. 2 for this week. Irmo at No. 3 and Summerville at No. 4 are also still undefeated.

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.

Here are SBLive's latest South Carolina football computer rankings, as of Oct. 21, 2024:
