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

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.

Which teams took the top spot in each classifications for both UIL and TAPPS? Here are SBLive's latest Virginia football computer rankings, as of November 12, 2024:
