Week 9 explanation

Why Jefferson Davis County High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 21–13 win over Lawrence County High School on Sep 11 (away), an opponent currently No. 136 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

W 49–14 at McLaurin Attendance Center (Oct 23); L 0–35 vs. Seminary High School (Oct 9); L 6–22 at Magee High School (Oct 2). Recent-form percentile: 47.3.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 62.5 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 3 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 3A, 1 against lower classes, and 1 against non-MHSAA or out-of-state opponents (rated by results, not by class).

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: up 19 spots to No. 121 (from No. 140). MFPI rating: increased 6.0 points to 46.6. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance +3.3 pts; points scored +1.2 pts; mfpi strength of schedule −1.2 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.
