MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 42.0 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 5 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 1A, 0 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 2 spots to No. 117 (from No. 115). MFPI rating: decreased 0.9 points to 48.3. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule −2.1 pts; points allowed +1.5 pts; media strength of schedule −1.2 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.
