Week 9 explanation

Why Baldwyn High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 28–13 win over Kossuth High School on Aug 27 (home), an opponent currently No. 122 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

W 84–63 at Hamilton High School (Oct 23); W 41–22 vs. Hatley High School (Oct 16); W 34–18 at Water Valley High School (Oct 9). Recent-form percentile: 64.7.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 30.8 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 4 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 2A, 1 against lower classes, and 1 against non-MHSAA or out-of-state opponents (rated by results, not by class).

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 4 spots to No. 113 (from No. 109). MFPI rating: decreased 0.3 points to 51.2. Largest component changes since Week 8: points allowed −1.2 pts; points scored +0.6 pts; record +0.3 pts. Opponents' ratings are re-solved every week, so these can move without a new game.

Limitations

Ratings use only verified final scores through Oct 27, 2026, 11:00 AM CDT. Media rank and media strength of schedule (from MaxPreps) contribute 20%. MFPI does not consider injuries, rosters or weather, and it is not a prediction.
