How to use these rankings
The rankings are the main tool on this page: one statewide power rating for every AHSAA varsity girls flag football team, with division and region filters for playoff context.
- Rating: estimated points better or worse than an average Alabama team.
- Provisional: teams with fewer than four rated games are marked until the data stabilizes.
- Data updated: ; late score entry can make records lag real games.

After you use the rankings table, select any two teams to calculate a win probability and expected margin from the same power ratings.
Ranking Methodology
Power Rating (Primary)
The power rating comes from a regularized least-squares model fit to every rated game in the state at once. Each team's rating is measured in points relative to an average Alabama team, so the difference between two teams' ratings (plus home-field advantage) is the model's predicted margin for that matchup. Because all teams are solved jointly, strength of schedule is built in: beating a strong opponent moves your rating more than beating a weak one. Margins are capped at 28 points so blowouts don't distort the fit, and teams with few games are shrunk toward the average until they build a track record.
Elo Rating (Secondary)
We also publish a game-by-game Elo rating as a momentum view: ratings update after each result, weighted by margin of victory (capped, and damped so heavy favorites aren't over-rewarded for running up the score). In backtests on the 2025 season, the power rating predicted winners and margins more accurately than Elo, which is why it's the headline number.
Seeded vs. Cold Start
- Default view: teams start the season from their prior-season final rating, regressed 30% toward the average. The influence of last season fades automatically as new games are played.
- Cold Start: every team starts equal; ratings reflect only the current season's results.
- Seeding Impact: the difference between the two; positive means a team is still benefiting from last season's résumé.
Coverage & Game Inclusion
Rankings cover every AHSAA varsity girls flag football team statewide: all four 2026 divisions (6A, 5A, 1A-4A, Private) on one comparable scale. All varsity games between AHSAA member schools count, including playoffs; exhibitions and games against out-of-state opponents appear in team records but are excluded from ratings. Teams marked P have played fewer than 4 rated games and their ratings are provisional. A handful of AHSAA schools playing this season are not yet assigned to a division and are listed as Unclassified.
Under each record is the date of that team's most recent result on record. Schools enter their own scores into DragonFly, and those entries often arrive several days after the game is played, so a record here is best read as a floor: a team may well have played since. When a date is more than a week old it is highlighted, which usually means a bye week or a score still waiting to be filed rather than anything wrong with the rankings.
