Computer forecast for GIAA, GAPPS

The Maxwell Ratings, compiled by mathematician and Georgia High School Football Historians Association founder Loren Maxwell, have projected the region finishes for all of the football-playing schools in the GHSA, GIAA and GAPPS. The projections are based on historical scores, with the most recent season weighing most heavily. Teams that did unusually well, or poorly, in 2022 are projected to regress toward the mean. The ratings do not consider changes in player personnel or coaching staff. Below are Maxwell’s projections and a brief look at how the GIAA and GAPPS shape up in 2023.
