What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 10 spots to No. 96 (from No. 86). MFPI rating: decreased 2.6 points to 57.0. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule −1.3 pts; opponent-adjusted performance −1.1 pts; media strength of schedule −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.
