MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 1.3 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: mostly same class — 2 games against higher classes, 2 in Class 2A, 4 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 9 spots to No. 193 (from No. 184). MFPI rating: decreased 2.7 points to 20.9. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance −0.9 pts; points allowed −0.7 pts; record −0.4 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.
