CLASSES 6A, 5A, 4A CLASSES 3A, 2-1A EIGHT-MAN I, II HOME 2007 Scoreboard: Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 PPI numbers are complete for the 2007 season. Comments, corrections? Please send us feedback For those of you not familiar with this unique football power ratings, here's a brief summary. I developed PPI during my 10 years covering high school football in Manhattan and Salina as a sports writer. It was my infatuation with numbers and time on the road to and from games that prompted the idea. I tested it for five years before taking it public. The statistical formula uses mathematical equations to rank all Kansas high school football teams in their respective classes. Records, points scored (offense) and points allowed (defense) also are listed each week for all teams eligible for district competition. What distinguishes PPI from other computer rankings is the starting point. All teams begin the season at the same PPI starting point as the rest of the teams in their class. Class 6A teams begin at 85, Class 5A teams at 80, Class 4A teams at 70, Class 3A teams at 60, Class 2-1A teams at 55 and all eight-man teams at 50. There is no given rating based on the previous season. No guessing how strong a team should be at the start of the season. All teams earn their ratings from their performance on the field for that season. Offense, defense and strength of schedule are the main factors that determine a team's PPI. A victory over a higher-rated team will be worth more than blowing out a weak team. Running up the score past a certain margin will not increase a team's PPI. Also, a victory over a team above you won't necessarily move you past that team. It all depends how close your ratings were and how decisive the win was.
