Nine weeks of the 2024 Arkansas high school football season have passed, and High School on SI is rolling out its updated computer rankings featuring the best AAA teams in the state.
Bryant, Conway and Pulaski Academy hold the top three spots in the 7A computer rankings.
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.
Which teams took the top spots in each division? Here are SBLive’s latest Arkansas high school football computer rankings, as of November 4, 2024:
