Maxwell Week 9 summary: Lee County thumps Northside-Warner Robins while Callaway tops AA

By Loren Maxwell
Updated Oct 15, 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 roster or coaching staffs.

Interesting results:

- In a season marked by relative stability at the top of each class, Lee County pushed their lead even further on the strength of a 24-7 victory over Northside of Warner Robins.  The Trojans are now rated just over 13 points better than their nearest competitor, Creekside.  That margin is the largest of any classification in the state, giving Dean Fabrizio’s team a 65% chance of winning their second consecutive title.

- Meanwhile Hapeville Charter, the top rated team in Class AA all season until now, unexpectedly dropped a 23-14 game to Class AAAAAA Allatoona.  The loss cleared enough room for both Callaway and Rockmart to slip past the Hornets into the top two spots.

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 4.82%.

For the current season, the ratings accurately account for the winner of 1,384 of 1,476 total games including 0 tie(s) (93.77%) and accurately reflect approximately 68.3% of all game margins within 12.80 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.
