Week 9 explanation

Why Jefferson Co High is ranked here

Strongest result

A 28–20 win over Velma Jackson High School on Sep 11 (home), an opponent currently No. 155 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 52.2 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: mostly same class — 3 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 3A, 2 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: unchanged at No. 152. MFPI rating: increased 0.5 points to 38.0. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance +0.6 pts; points allowed −0.5 pts; recent form +0.5 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.
