First update of the season!
Italicized aPPBs indicate preseason “projections,” for lack of a better term. I’ll be using them until about late December, at which time I hopefully will have enough data to make rankings based entirely off of this season.

HSQBRank 
Will you be including stats from college tournaments such as Penn Bowl in your rankings?
Yes. I just need more data.
How is Maggie Walker A on this list and TJ B not? TJ B had a ppb 1.44 higher than them and beat them by 300+ points
TJ B was a split team, i.e. not what TJ B is actually going to consist of this year.
Yikes! Thanks for the ranking, Fred, but we ain’t that good yet. I’m happy with our PBB, but High Tech has already beaten us twice by grabbing more toss-ups
Barely made it onto the list at 50.
That’s good to hear, though I might be worried because some tournaments (EFT for instance) were only played by a few high schools, and therefore may be harder to make adjustments for.
That’s basically how it works. There have been a few college tournaments before where I didn’t have adjustments due to a low number of high school teams competing.
I wonder how far down Cistercian “A” is in your rankings.
