The following rankings are based off the following rules by MaxPreps:

(A brief explanation of the Factors that affect the MaxPreps Rankings system...)

MaxPreps uses a computer program to determine team rank. We do not poll coaches, sports writers, or fans. Nor does our staff make any judgments on the merits of any individual team. Prior season history, school size, nor comments on message boards are a consideration in the MaxPreps rankings.

The system utilizes the huge number of game results stored in the MaxPreps database. Generally, the more a team wins the higher the ranking, but the system takes into account quality wins (against other highly ranked opponents) and strength of schedule. For example, a team's ranking is hurt more by losing to a team that is ranked below them verses a team ranked ahead.

Other factors that will affect the rankings are times when MaxPreps has incomplete or inaccurate information. We will correct errors when they are reported to us. If we are missing a score, report it to us on the team's MaxPreps page. If we are missing a game on the schedule, e-mail us (Correction Request) as much info about the game as possible including opponents, location and an accurate score.

Generally, the more games that are played the more accurate the rankings, so if a team that you perceive as being very strong has played substantially fewer games than other ranked teams it may reflect the fact that we have less data to work with.

Playoff games are weighed 2.1 times what a regular season game is.

Movement indicates the up or down movement within the rankings when compared to our previously published rankings.

MaxPreps football ranking are updated once a week, other sports will be updated three times a week during the sport season.

Note: A team must have played 3 games before they will appear in the rankings.
