Week 9 explanation

Why Clarkdale High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 22–8 win over Stringer Attendance Center on Sep 4 (home), an opponent currently No. 142 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

L 13–20 vs. Enterprise (Clarke) (Oct 23); L 0–13 at Mize Attendance Center (Oct 16); W 17–0 vs. Union High School (Oct 9). Recent-form percentile: 42.0.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 28.6 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: mostly same class — 2 games against higher classes, 4 in Class 2A, 3 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 5 spots to No. 125 (from No. 120). MFPI rating: decreased 1.0 points to 45.8. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule +1.0 pts; opponent-adjusted performance −0.8 pts; media rank −0.5 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.
