Week 9 explanation

Why Forest Hill High School is ranked here

Strongest result

No wins over MHSAA opponents in the verified results. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 72.3 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing down — 0 games against higher classes, 5 in Class 6A, 4 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: up 7 spots to No. 162 (from No. 169). MFPI rating: increased 2.7 points to 33.6. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance +1.1 pts; media strength of schedule +1.0 pts; mfpi strength of schedule +0.9 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.
