Week 9 explanation

Why Lake Cormorant High is ranked here

Strongest result

A 27–23 win over South Panola High School on Oct 2 (home), an opponent currently No. 9 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 at Saltillo High School (Oct 23); W 14–9 at Center Hill High School (Oct 16); W 27–23 vs. South Panola High School (Oct 2). Recent-form percentile: 90.2.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 74.6 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 3 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 6A, 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: down 4 spots to No. 24 (from No. 20). MFPI rating: decreased 1.1 points to 83.8. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule −1.5 pts; points scored +0.4 pts; opponent-adjusted performance +0.3 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.
