Region 2-5A has four top-10 teams, all 3-0. They are Thomas County Central, Coffee, Lee County and Houston County. The computer Maxwell Ratings rate this region as the state’s strongest in any class. Below are Maxwell’s ranking of all 56 regions in their classes. This uses Maxwell’s “competitive ranking” model, which rewards regions with lots of good teams without letting one or two bad ones drag down the average. Maxwell’s region favorite is in parentheses to help identify the region. If one region’s rating is five points higher than another, that means that one region’s typical good team would be favored by five points against a typical playoff team from the other.
