Maxwell Quarterfinal Summary: No Cinderellas Remaining in AAAAAA

By Loren Maxwell
Nov 30, 2015

The Maxwell Ratings will rank Georgia's 417 teams throughout the 2015 season. The ratings are based entirely on historical performance and on field results and do not consider personnel changes on the roster or coaching staffs.

Interesting results from this past week:

- An impressive route of Archer propelled Mill Creek to the top spot in the state. Of the four remaining teams in AAAAAA, the Hawks are perhaps the most unlikely candidate to lead the pack. Each of the other three semifinalists, Colquitt County, Grayson, and Roswell, all have state titles within the last decade, but Mill Creek and it's only coach, Shannon Jarvis, entered this season with 60-58 career records and only one Power Five recruit on the roster (Louisville commit OG Robbie Bell). However, aside from a 20-17 overtime win against Peachtree Ridge to close the regular season, the 23-0 dismantling of AJC preseason #1 Archer has been their closest game.

- For the first time in 55 years the four semifinal teams in the highest class are undefeated, which is a good omen for the head coaches.  The four from 1960, Frank Inman at Richmond Academy, Calvin Ramsey at Avondale, Frank Jernigan at North Fulton, and a guy named Wright Bazemore at Valdosta, had combined career records of 545-111-25 (81.3%) and 16 state titles.  Two have stadiums named after them (Bazemore and Inman) and two are inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame (Bazemore and Ramsey).

Maxwell GHSA Football Ratings

As this season's games are played, the Maxwell Ratings will be based on a modified logistic regression of the current football season's results in combination with each team's historical performance. More recent games and games against similarly rated opponents carry more weight and the weight of each team's historical performance diminishes as the team's season progresses.

The current total weight of all team's historical performance is 0.10%.

For the current season, the ratings accurately account for the winner of 2,023 of 2,220 total games including 2 tie(s) (91.17%) and accurately reflect approximately 68.3% of all game margins within 13.04 points.

The ratings are scaled so that 100.00 is the rating required to win 91.5% of all games in an infinite round robin tournament against all teams in the highest classification. The schedule strength is the rating required to win 50% of all games in an infinite round robin tournament against a particular team's opponents.
