Welcome to TXHSFB Inside the Numbers — where Dave Campbell's Texas Football take the data that makes up Texas high school football, and try to figure out what it means looking back and looking forward. Today: the best regions in Texas high school football in 2020.
It's one of the hottest debates in Texas high school football every year: where is the best football in the Lone Star State played? Let's try to figure it out.
For the answer, we crunched the numbers in the DCTF computer rankings, averaging the computer rating for all UIL teams in each of the 21 regions of the state as designated by Dave Campbell's Texas Football. This is a measure of a region's strength as a whole, not the best teams in it — the top team in the region matters just as much as the bottom team in the region, so depth of quality mattters.
According to the DCTF computer rankings, if you're looking for Texas' best football, look east.
