What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 12 spots to No. 35 (from No. 23). MFPI rating: decreased 5.3 points to 77.9. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance −1.1 pts; mfpi strength of schedule −1.1 pts; media rank −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. 2 listing(s) for this team were still awaiting a verified score. 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.
