Week 9 of the 2024 North Dakota high school football season is here and High School on SI is debuting its first computer rankings of the season for the state.

The No. 1 spot in the latest Class AAA computer rankings stays consistent as the Fargo Davies Eagles continue their impressive season with a 35-7 victory against West Fargo Friday. Coming in at No. 2 are the Minot Magicians boasting a 5-2 record.

A quick look at the Class AA rankings show 7-0 Red River at No.1 with West Fargo Horace right behind them at No. 2.

SBLive's formula was created using its 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 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 North Dakota football computer rankings, as of Oct. 15, 2024:
