Why Thomas E. Edwards is ranked here

A 8–4 win over Greenwood High School on Aug 28 (home), an opponent currently No. 67 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 15 spots to No. 81 (from No. 66). MFPI rating: decreased 4.9 points to 60.3. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule −1.8 pts; opponent-adjusted performance −1.7 pts; media strength of schedule −0.7 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.
