The Maxwell Ratings will rank the Georgia High School Association's 418 teams throughout the 2017 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:

- Buford takes over as Georgia's highest rated team. Lowndes and Cartersville, in spite of their losses, both retain their position as the highest rated team in their classification based on their performance over the entire season.

- McEachern and Blessed Trinity threw the playoffs into chaos as they eliminated the top rated teams in Classes AAAAAAA and AAAAA respectively. I had not planned on showing each bracket's Parity Rating again, but it's interesting to see the effect of Cartersville's premature exit. As a reminder, the Parity Rating is how often the same team would be crowned champion in consecutive tournaments if the tournament could be replayed an infinite amount of times. For example, last week Class AAAA had a significantly higher chance of the same champion repeating (59.2%) primarily because of Cartersville's dominance than this week (only 21.9%).

- Eagle's Landing Christian in the Class A-Private bracket is the only team left that could be considered a heavy favorite.

- Here are the title races with the most to the least parity (lowest to highest chances of the same team repeating in an infinite simulation):

Class	Last week's Parity	This week's Parity
AAAAAA	17.7%	19.2%
AAAA	59.2%	21.9%
A - Public	23.1%	24.1%
AAAAAAA	28.9%	24.3%
AA	26.6%	32.6%
AAA	32.1%	35.6%
AAAAAA	35.8%	38.8%
A - Private	65.6%	66.6%

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 0.09%.

For the current season, the ratings accurately account for the winner of 2,044 of 2,214 total games including 0 tie(s) (92.32%) and accurately reflect approximately 68.3% of all game margins within 12.77 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.

Regions

Each region is shown with its “Competitive Rating”, which is the rating required for a new team to that region to have a chance of going undefeated in a round robin schedule among region teams equal to the chance of being selected region champion if picked at random. For example, there are four teams in 1-AAAAAAA, so the chance of a new team being region champion if picked at random is 1 / (4 + 1) = 20%. Therefore the Competitive Rating is the rating required to go undefeated in a round robin tournament among region teams 20% of the time. This rating favors regions with larger numbers of highly rated teams. The “Average Rating” is the rating required to win 50% of all games against the region’s teams in an infinite round robin competition.
