Why Collins High School is ranked here

Strongest result

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 35.7 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 4 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 2A, 1 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: up 21 spots to No. 165 (from No. 186). MFPI rating: increased 9.1 points to 32.4. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance +2.8 pts; points scored +1.2 pts; media rank +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.
