Maxwell Week 6 Summary: Packers assert over Rams, state

By Loren Maxwell
Updated Sept 25, 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:

- Colquitt County down Grayson 26-14 in a game that could have been at least another touchdown worse than the final score to increase their rating by nearly a full field goal.  The Packers are just below a rating of 100.00, of which only 58 teams have surpassed since 1948.  Colquitt is nearly two touchdowns better the any other team in the state and has a 79.6% chance to finish the season undefeated and a 58.7% chance to win the title.

- Archer blasted Buford 48-24 in one of the season’s highest rated match ups to move into the number two spot in Class AAAAAAA.  In comparison, the impressive victory also makes Archer’s 21-19 loss to Milton the least likeliest result of the season so far.

- Cedar Grove routed Lovett 45-0 to move into the top spot in Class AAA, edging out Benedictine.  Still, there is only a two point difference between those two and Calhoun in the GHSA’s most highly contested classification.

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 20.00%.

For the current season, the ratings accurately account for the winner of 937 of 982 total games including 0 tie(s) (95.42%) and accurately reflect approximately 68.3% of all game margins within 12.82 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.
