The Ohio High School Athletic Association released the official weekly football computer ratings Tuesday. The computer ratings are released every week beginning in the fifth week of the season, leading up to the final report on Sunday, Oct. 27, when 448 schools – the top 16 in each region – will qualify for the playoffs. This week’s complete report showing all teams in every region is here.
The top eight teams will have home games in the first round of the playoffs, and the top four are guaranteed a second-round home game if they advance.
Here are the standings for Southwest Ohio regions, including a brief synopsis of playoff scenarios based on the research of Joe Eitel, who calculates the OHSAA computer ratings.
