Here are the official, locked in Strength Index numbers for H.S. Football after Week 7 as of Sunday’s Gridrion NJ update

Week Seven is in the books, and Cutoff Weekend is upon us.

This Thursday, Friday and Saturday are the final games of the high school football season for public schools before the NJSIAA announces the playoff brackets on Sunday. This week, all SI values are locked in, so that the values used to calculate OSI – one of two metrics in the UPR system, the other being power points – will not change after this weekend’s results, for playoff qualification only.

SI continues to be tracked all year through the state finals, with those numbers adjusted for the start of the 2026 season.

So, all that matters for this weekend is whether a team won or lost, and how many points they get.

Below are the official Strength Index values for all high school football teams in New Jersey, per Gridiron New Jersey – which handles the official calculations for the NJSIAA – in alphabetical order. Big Central Conference teams are in bold.

Please note, Gridiron has occasionally made a correction or two during the week, so there could be a slight alteration this week. And Gridiron New Jersey has yet to compile updated SI values for out-of-state teams,

Don’t forget, Central Jersey Sports Radio will broadcast the “2025 Playoff Projection Show” this Saturday at 6 pm, hosted by Mike Pavlichko and analyst Marcus Borden. They’ll go over CJSR’s unofficial bracket projections for all five public school groups, talk to several area coaches, and break down the projected pairings. Bookmark this link to listen!
