Bragging rights for the title of the top team in Arizona high school football will be settled on the field Friday.

Chandler and Centennial - the top two teams in SBLive's Arizona football computer rankings - face off on October 6 in a 6A showdown. Chandler comes into the game ranked No. 20 in the country in the SBLive/Sports Illustrated Power 25 national rankings.

Desert Mountain and Desert Edge are the top-ranked teams in the latest 5A computer rankings.

SBLive's formula was created using its own linear algebra-based ranking algorithm inspired by the Colley Bias-Free Ranking Method. Colley’s Method was created by Wes Colley, Ph.D., an astrophysicist at the University of Alabama at Huntsville. He devised his algorithm in order to help address the subjectivity and controversy regarding BCS college football selections in the 1990s and early 2000s, using a method that used no subjective variables.

Here are SBLive's latest Arizona football computer rankings:
