This order is Podium Watch editorial analysis. It is a projection based on verified information available at the time of publication, not an official OHSAA ranking.

How this ranking works

The full season resume matters more than one isolated result. Championship performance, consistency, head to head results, relevant track performances, returning status, and verified roster information may all be considered when they apply.
