What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 5 spots to No. 26 (from No. 21). MFPI rating: decreased 2.5 points to 81.5. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule −2.1 pts; points allowed +0.9 pts; media strength of schedule −0.8 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.
