The UHSAA revealed its debut 2024 RPI rankings for high school football Monday morning, and if the previous four years are any indicator, it’s best to take the initial rankings with a grain of salt.

In each of the past four seasons, no more than two teams ranked first in the initial RPI rankings were still No. 1 when the regular season ended — excluding the 8-player league. In both 2020 and 2021, only one team ended the year ranked first.

Last season, only Richfield (3A) and San Juan (2A) remained ranked first from the initial rankings to the final rankings.

For now though, the teams who claimed RPI top billing in their respective classifications at the midway point of the season are Lehi (6A), Northridge (5A), Spanish Fork (4A), Grantsville (3A), Emery (2A), North Summit (1A) and Monticello (1A eight-player).

The RPI rankings are used to seed the playoffs after Week 10 and are based 45% on winning percentage, 45% on opponents’ winning percentage and 10% on opponents’ opponents winning percentage. This is the fourth year the formula is using a 45-45-10 calculation.

In the latest Deseret News weekly rankings, the top team in each classification are Lone Peak (6A), Timpview (5A), Ridgeline (4A), Morgan (3A), San Juan (2A), Beaver (1A) and Rich (1A 8-player).

Here’s a look at the detailed RPI rankings for each classification:
