Will your team be at the top of our Rankings?

The National Rankings can be subjective and create a lot of debate and discussion but we take every effort to produce a quality product for our AAU Districts.  The rankings are ONLY as good as the data we receive.  If you review the standings and you think the data may be off please talk to your AAU Football District Director.   

Each category of rankings can be viewed by clicking the tab on the left.   Once clicked you will go to the AAU Football or AAU Cheer Ranking Page.  Use the filters to select the ranking you want to view.  Rankings will be updated weekly for all districts using the system.

How Rankings are calculated?

The National Rankings can be subjective and create a lot of debate and discussion but we take every effort to produce a quality product for our AAU Districts.  The rankings are ONLY as good as the data we receive.  If you review the standings and you think the data may be off please talk to your AAU Football District Director.   

Rankings are calculated using the following order:

• National Championship finishing order 
  • Since the National Championship is the Top Tier Event for AAU Football (similar to the the College Football National BCS playoffs and Championship Game or NFL Playoffs and Super Bowl),  it only makes sense it would determine our highest rankings.  
• State Championship finishing order  
  • Same as above but second tier
• Conference  ranking/Championship finishing order
  • Same as above but used during the regular season.  Final State Standings from the Playoffs and Championship   
• Awarded Points
  • Wins  3 pts.
  • Bye  3 pts.   
  • Win by Forfeit  2 pts.
  • Tie  2 pts.
  • Loss  1 pt.
  • Loss by Forfeit  0 pts.
•   Record
• • This is in part based on winning percentage (see below), but also favors the team with the greatest number of Wins, or the least number of Losses. For example, if Team A is 2-4-0, Team B is 1-3-2 and Team C is 0-2-4, they have the same winning percentage, but the Record would favor Team A, then Team B, then Team C due to the Wins
• Winning Percentage
  • This is computed as: (Wins + 0.5 * Ties) / (Wins + Ties + Losses).
• Points Against
• Head to Head
  • This breaks ties based on the Record tie breaker (or Points, if points are used) against the tied teams. For example, 3 teams have the same overall record at 4-2 and all 3 of the teams played each other an equal number of times. If one team's record against the other two was 2-0 and another team's was 1-1 and the last was 0-2, this tie breaker would rank them accordingly. If all three teams had identical 1-1 records, this tie breaker would not be used.
    • Head to Head Two Teams Only - This is the same as the Head to Head tie breaker, except this one will only be used if only two teams are tied. If there are three or more teams tied (even if they all played each other), this tie breaker will be ignored.
    • Head to Head Pt Diff - This breaks ties based on the differential against the teams tied with. For example, if 3 teams have tied, this tie breaker calculates the differential for each team, but only using games where the teams have played each other.
      
      It should be noted that this tie breaker is completely ignored if all of the teams tied do not play each other an equal number of times. For example if there are 3 teams tied and one team played the other two, but the other two did not play each other, this tie breaker will be ignored (regardless of the outcome of the two games played by the first team).
• Points Differential
  • The differential tie breaker determines the total difference between a team's score versus their opponents'. The largest differential wins the tie breaker.
• Points Scored
  • The total of a team's score. The higher total wins the tie breaker.
• Points Allowed
  • The total of a team's opponent's score. The smallest total wins the tie breaker.
