2025 N.C. 3A Football Power Ratings
Last updated: Thursday, December 18, 2025 - final ratings
Welcome to my 3A power ratings page. I will be updating these records by every
Thursday night during the season. To determine the predicted point spread for
a game, simply take the difference between the two teams' ratings, and add 2
points for the home team.
These ratings are based on a mathematical formula involving several factors,
including win-loss record, schedule strength, and margin of victory in games.
The most recent games are counted with slightly more emphasis than those
played earlier in the season. Forfeits ARE reflected in the records, but ARE
NOT included in the power ratings, or strength of schedule rankings.
SS = strength of schedule rankings among the 57 3A teams included in these
ratings (1 is strongest and 57 is weakest)
* = record contains forfeits
