Week 10 risers and fallers in the MFPI

How to read these moves

Rank movement is last week's statewide rank minus this week's. Rating change is this week's displayed MFPI minus last week's. They are separate facts: in the middle of the table, where ratings are close together, a small rating change can move a team many places, and a team can hold its place while its rating changes.

Both compare the Week 10 snapshot with the latest audited Week 9 snapshot (formula MFPI-3.2).

Data notes and limitations

Snapshot generated November 3, 2026 at 11:11 AM Central with a cutoff of November 3 at 11:00 AM Central, formula MFPI-3.2.

1087 of 1110 game listings due by the cutoff had verified scores (97.9%); the rest count as unavailable, never as losses or 0-0 results.

Wesson Attendance Center is credited with two games on Oct 23. One listing may belong to a same-named school; it is under review and affects that team and its opponents.

Opponent ranks in this article are the opponent's rank in this snapshot, not its rank on the day the game was played, unless a sentence says otherwise.
