Week 9 explanation

Why Kossuth High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 35–21 win over North Pontotoc High School on Sep 25 (away), an opponent currently No. 145 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

W 38–6 vs. Mantachie Attendance Center (Oct 23); W 44–28 at Belmont School (Oct 16); L 22–44 vs. Booneville High School (Oct 2). Recent-form percentile: 51.8.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 37.5 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: mostly same class — 2 games against higher classes, 4 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 1 spot to No. 122 (from No. 123). MFPI rating: increased 1.6 points to 46.5. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance +1.4 pts; points allowed +0.9 pts; mfpi strength of schedule −0.9 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.
