Maxwell Second Round summary: All 1-AAAAAA semifinal? The computer thinks so

By Loren Maxwell
Nov 19, 2018

The Maxwell Ratings will rank the Georgia High School Association's 422 teams throughout the 2018 season. The ratings are based entirely on historical performance and on field results and do not consider personnel changes on the player roster or coaching staff.

Interesting results:

- Well, well, well . . . just as I said Region 1 has made Class AAAAAA uninteresting this season, they’ve offered up something for us pay to attention to.

Following its impressive sweep of Region 4 in the first round, all four Region 1 teams bumped off all of Region 2 in the second.

Can all of Region 1 advance again?  Possibly.  Each Region 1 team is the favorite for their upcoming quarterfinal game, but of course that doesn’t they are a lock.  Lee County leads the group with a 95.0% chance of topping Creekview while Coffee, Northside (Warner Robins), and Valdosta are favorites by roughly a touchdown, giving each about a 65-70% chance of winning this weekend.

The chances of all four winning and thus an all Region 1 semifinal is 27.8%.  As it is, the expected number of Region 1 teams in the semifinals is 2.9 teams.

- Overall Class AAAAAA had an uncommon pattern of sweeps on the playoffs this season.  In the first round, Region 1 swept Region 4, Region 2 swept Region 3, and Region 6 swept Region 7.  Region 8 almost pulled it off with a 3-1 showing against Region 5, with Creekside downing Gainesville being the only exception.  This set up the unusual scenario in the Second Round where Region 1 faced off against Region 2.

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 0.07%.

For the current season, the ratings accurately account for the winner of 2,083 of 2,240 total games including 0 tie(s) (92.99%) and accurately reflect approximately 68.3% of all game margins within 13.77 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 Competitive Rating 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.
