What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 9 spots to No. 97 (from No. 88). MFPI rating: decreased 2.6 points to 56.7. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance −1.7 pts; points scored −0.8 pts; mfpi 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.
