Eight weeks of the 2024 West Virginia high school football season have come and gone and High School on SI is rolling out this week's updated computer rankings for the best teams in the state.

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.

Class AA has a new No. 1 with undefeated Roane County overtaking the top spot after Williamstown lost at home to Frankfort last week. Frankfort is currently ranked No. 2 in the Class AAA rankings.
