Week 9 explanation

Why Ethel Attendance Center is ranked here

Strongest result

A 21–6 win over Nanih Waiya Attendance Center on Oct 23 (home), an opponent currently No. 130 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 14.3 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 3 games against higher classes, 4 in Class 1A, 0 against lower classes, and 1 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 9 spots to No. 153 (from No. 162). MFPI rating: increased 4.0 points to 37.5. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance +1.3 pts; media rank +1.1 pts; recent form +0.6 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.
