Maxwell Quarterfinal Summary: Favorites continue to roll

By Loren Maxwell
Nov 28, 2016

The Maxwell Ratings will rank Georgia's 420 teams throughout the 2016 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:

- As most of the favored teams in each classification continue to advance, Westlake is the only Cinderella left, if even they can be considered that.  The Lions were 49.16 to one odds to make it this far at the beginning of the playoffs.

- Buford retakes AAAAA off their win over Carrollton.  Buford led the classification for most of the year until Stockbridge took the lead late in the season.

- Grayson's rating continues to improve, this time after their 49-21 route of two-time defending state champion Colquitt County.  If the season were finished today, the Rams would have the 13th highest rating since 1948, edging out Coach Jeff Herron's 2003 Camden County Wildcats state championship team.  However . . . there is at least one more tough game left to play, and most likely two, before considering them among the all-time greats.

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 0.11%.

For the current season, the ratings accurately account for the winner of 2,052 of 2,250 total games including 7 tie(s) (91.36%) and accurately reflect approximately 68.3% of all game margins within 13.14 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.
