Maxwell Week 3 Summary: Stable at the top

By Loren Maxwell
Updated Sept 3, 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:

- Aside from from minor shifting, the majority of the top teams in each classification remained steady.  The biggest difference was Brooks County dropping from #2 in Class AAA to #6 after a 37-7 loss to Class A-Public’s second highest ranked team, Clinch County.

- Rome and Buford have swapped places in Class AAAAA, although both remain in the top two spots.  It’s probable they'll continue to vie for the highest rating while on a likely collision course in the title game.

- Both Grayson and North Gwinnett fell to their out-of-state opponents this past weekend.  Unfortunately out-of-state games carry little weight in the ratings since that data is difficult to collect and maintain.

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 40.99%.

For the current season, the ratings accurately account for the winner of 469 of 491 total games including 0 tie(s) (95.52%) and accurately reflect approximately 68.3% of all game margins within 13.75 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.

All data is courtesy of the Georgia High School Football Historians Association.

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.
