Week 9 explanation

Why Caledonia High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 27–7 win over Amory High School on Sep 4 (home), an opponent currently No. 62 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

L 16–41 at West Point High School (Oct 23); L 6–41 at Pontotoc High School (Oct 15); W 27–8 vs. Columbus High School (Oct 9). Recent-form percentile: 41.1.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 79.0 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing down — 0 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 5A, 4 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 19 spots to No. 86 (from No. 67). MFPI rating: decreased 5.3 points to 59.8. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance −1.9 pts; mfpi strength of schedule −1.0 pts; points allowed −0.8 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.
