| 1 | FH Northern | 98.47 | 8-0 | They’ll be tested this weekend by Notre Dame Prep. |
| 2 | Brother Rice | 98.22 | 8-3 | They haven’t lost in-state yet… |
| 3 | Detroit CC | 96.15 | 9-3 | I saw them smack FHC in the mouth on Saturday. |
| 4 | Northville | 94.98 | 6-1 | Haven’t faced any good competition yet, but they’ll see Holt and FHC this weekend. |
| 5 | East Grand Rapids | 93.74 | 8-1 | They close out the regular season with FHC, Troy Athens, and FHE! |
| 6 | AA Pioneer | 93.29 | 7-1 | Take on Troy Athens tonight in a top matchup. |
| 7 | Troy Athens | 93.03 | 9-3 | See above. |
| 8 | Brighton | 92.80 | 8-1 | They’ve shut out 2 (weak) opponents. |
| 9 | Clarkston | 92.76 | 8-1 | They won’t see another good team until the postseason. |
| 10 | Novi | 92.27 | 7-1 | They have a few breathers coming up, but close the season at Northville. |
| 11 | Dexter | 92.22 | 11-0 | They’ve been running up the score on bad teams (33-0 over Ypsi Lincoln!). Poor form. |

| 13 | Holt | 91.83 | 7-4 | Getting a visit from Northville on Thursday. |

| 15 | Detroit Country Day | 91.41 | 3-7 | Even against Michigan-only competition, the Yellow Jackets are 2-3. Weird placement by the computers. They close the regular season with Cranbrook and Grosse Pointe South. |
| 16 | De La Salle | 91.14 | 7-4 | Blown out by Catholic Central and Rice, they’ll try to regain some CHSL bragging rights against Orchard Lake St. Mary’s tomorrow. |

| 18 | Grand Rapids CC | 88.97 | 6-0 | They should be able to complete an undefeated regular season. |
| 19 | Haslett-Williamson | 88.43 | 8-3 | Lost 3 in a row last week, but should be able to win their remaining games. |
| 20 | Flint Powers | 88.31 | 8-3 | They face a tough Notre Dame Prep squad tomorrow. |
| 21 | Midland | 88.19 | 3-2 | They’ve hardly played any games. They have 8 remaining (some schools have as few as 0). |
| 22 | Grosse Pointe South | 88.10 | 7-2 | They have the Grosse Pointe Derby on Thursday against North. |
| 23 | Birmingham United | 88.02 | 5-8 | They broke an 8-game losing streak with 3 straight wins. |
| 24 | UD Jesuit | 87.87 | 3-9 | Tough, tough season for the Cubs has come to an end. |
| 25 | Utica Eisenhower | 87.72 | 6-3 | They’ll take on Novi on Thursday. |
Where are LaxPower’s computers making mistakes? I know a lot of people don’t trust in LaxPower, but I think there’s something to be said for an unbiased computer generating rankings.
