We’ve already reached mid-September of 2022 high school football season in New Jersey as the weeks are flying by fast.
The second high school United Power Rankings were released on Sunday following all Week 3 games.
The UPR is determined by combining teams’ power points and Opponents Strength Index. The top 16 teams through games of Oct. 22 in each group will qualify for the postseason.
While UPR will be used as a reference for the non-public brackets, those groups will be seeded by committee. Out-of-state games are not counting towards a team’s UPR this season and do not reflect a team’s record below.
New rankings should appear every Sunday through the regular season. Gridonnewjersey.com is responsible for producing the rankings.
