ES Power Rating · Football

Early season: these ratings lean on each program’s last three seasons until this year’s games say otherwise. Treat them as a starting point, not a verdict.

Through week 1 · 176 games rated · home edge -0.47 · computed Thu, Sep 17 · prior from 2024-25, 2023-24, 2022-23 · How it works →

Records are the official season record, the same as on each school’s page: a forfeit counts, a Seeding Only replacement does not. The rating itself uses only played games; hover a record to see how many.

TPF is what each program carries into this season from WIAA’s tournament performance factor: one point value a season for its furthest playoff level (Level 3 = 1, state semifinal = 2, championship game = 3, state title = 4), added over three seasons. Six or more moves a program up a division for the next season, one division a year; below six it can come back down one a year. A ↑ marks a program already at six on the two seasons carried in.
