The MHSAA’s All-Time Football Programs

Determining the all-time programs

State Championships (15%): Winning a state title is the pinnacle of high school football success, so it carries the highest weight.

District Titles (10%): District titles indicate consistent regional dominance, slightly less prestigious than state titles.

Conference Championships (8%): Conference titles reflect success within a competitive subgroup, valuable but less broad than district titles.

Playoff Win Percentage (12%): Success in playoffs shows a team's ability to perform under pressure, a strong indicator of quality.

Winning Percentage (12%): Overall winning percentage captures long-term consistency across all games.

Playoff Wins (10%): Total playoff wins reflect postseason success, complementing playoff win percentage.

10-Win Seasons (10%): Achieving 10 or more wins in a season indicates exceptional performance, often tied to deep playoff runs.

Playoff Appearances (8%): Making the playoffs consistently shows a team's competitiveness over time.

Wins (8%): Total wins reflect historical success but are less weighted due to varying program ages and schedules.

Winning Seasons (7%): Having more winning seasons than losing ones shows sustained success.

Losing Seasons (-5%): A negative weight penalizes teams with more losing seasons, reflecting inconsistency.

Playoff Losses (0%): Not weighted directly, as playoff losses are already accounted for in playoff win percentage.

Losses (0%): Not weighted, as winning percentage already incorporates losses.
