Ohio high school boys basketball computer rankings (1/26/2024)
It's time to release SBLive's latest computer rankings for the 2023-24 Ohio high school boys basketball season.
Garfield Heights (17-0) remains the top-ranked team in our Division I computer rankings, followed by Sandusky and St. Ignatius.
Archbishop Alter (11-2) sits atop our Division II rankings, with Scott and Norton in the next two spots.
In the Division III rankings, Canton Central Catholic (8-6) jumps to the top spot, followed by Ottawa-Glandorf and Lutheran East.
The Division IV rankings still sees defending state champion Richmond Heights (6-6) at No. 1 with one of the toughest schedules in the state, with Russia and St. Henry behind the Spartans.
SBLive's computer rankings 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.
