The 2024 Massachusetts high school boys basketball season is at the midway point and High School on SI has started its weekly computer rankings for the season.

SBLive’s formula was created using its linear algebra-based ranking algorithm inspired by the Colley Bias-Free Ranking Method. Colley’s Method was created by Wes Colley, Ph.D., an astrophysicist at the University of Alabama at Huntsville. He devised his algorithm to help address the subjectivity and controversy regarding BCS college football selections in the 1990s and early 2000s, using a method that used no subjective variables.

Here are SBLive’s latest Massachusetts boys basketball computer rankings, as of Jan. 28, 2025:
