Week 9 explanation

Why Center Hill High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 28–14 win over Grenada High on Oct 9 (away), an opponent currently No. 37 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

W 38–29 at Olive Branch High School (Oct 23); L 9–14 vs. Lake Cormorant High (Oct 16); W 28–14 at Grenada High (Oct 9). Recent-form percentile: 86.2.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 76.8 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 3 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 6A, 0 against lower classes, and 2 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: up 1 spot to No. 30 (from No. 31). MFPI rating: decreased 0.1 points to 80.1. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule −0.6 pts; points scored +0.4 pts; opponent-adjusted performance +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.
