So a 4a team beating an 18-10 5a team gets: 20 points to win 2 points for beating a team one class up 18 points for the opponent wins
It’s different than the basketball and football formula
They give you opponent’s win percentage x 34 (in basketball) or 10 (in football)
My constant complaint on here is that B and C teams exist for the rest of the state to add wins to the ratings (think of it like a food chain) and don’t exist in SE Louisiana leading to a geographical bias.
And because those B and C teams don’t exist, a lot of schools don’t have as many games played as others.
And with four to six 5A districts in close driving distance for everybody in SE LA, we tend to play those teams more, which leads to more parity (though for sure Barbe and West Monroe would still be great)

That’s an interesting point. And anecdotally the power rankings seem to bear that out.
For example the No. 4 seed in D1 select is Northwood, whose second best win of the season is a 42 point home victory over a 22-8 Class B school called Grace Christian
By contrast, the No. 4 team in D2 select is Teurlings, whose second best win of the year is 43 power points. But to get that many points they had to beat Brother Martin on the road.
You’d still have the same problem if you used opponent win percentage, so I don’t know what the answer is here
Only thing that comes to mind is a penalty for playing down, but then that kills the ability of those small schools to schedule non district games.
