What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: up 10 spots to No. 108 (from No. 118). MFPI rating: increased 5.1 points to 52.7. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance +1.9 pts; recent form +0.9 pts; points scored +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. 1 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.
