The Firefly rating

Records treat every schedule as equal. This does not. Each team's rating is its average scoring margin adjusted for the quality of the opponents it actually played, solved across every completed TSSAA game of 2026-27. Zero is an average Tennessee team.

The method, in full

Every completed game between two TSSAA member schools contributes one scoring margin to each team. A team's rating is then its average margin plus the average rating of the opponents it faced, solved by repeating that calculation until the numbers stop moving and re-centering the whole field on zero. A team rated +14 is, on the evidence so far, about two touchdowns better than an average Tennessee team on a neutral field.

Four deliberate choices

Margin is capped at 28 points. A 63-0 win counts exactly the same as a 28-0 win. Without that cap the rating rewards a coach for leaving the starters in against an overmatched opponent, and we will not publish a number that does that.

Home advantage is removed. 2.5 points are subtracted from the home side of every result before the fit, so a team is not rewarded for drawing a favorable share of home games.

A team with fewer than 2 qualifying games gets no rating at all. A number built on a single result carries an error bar readers cannot see, so we leave it blank instead.

Every rating is shrunk toward average by how little we know. Each team is credited with 4 imaginary tied games against a perfectly average opponent before its real results count. Two weeks into this season, 327 completed games among 349 teams left the schedule in 25 separate groups with no game connecting them, and without that shrinkage a group that has played only itself can drift anywhere: it briefly produced a two-win team rated nine touchdowns above average. The shrinkage fades on its own as the season links the state together.

What it cannot do

Games against out-of-state opponents are excluded, because those teams carry no rating in this pool and counting them would quietly treat an unknown opponent as an average one. Several Tennessee schools open their season out of state, so their rating rests on fewer games than their record suggests; the games-used count is on every school page.

Early in a season every rating is thin. With three or four games played, the schedule adjustment is doing more work than the results, and a team can move a long way on one Friday. This is a measure of what has happened so far, not a prediction.
