Week 9 explanation

Why Lewisburg High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 28–7 win over Southaven High School on Oct 16 (home), an opponent currently No. 64 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

L 10–28 at Hernando High School (Oct 23); W 28–7 vs. Southaven High School (Oct 16); L 3–48 vs. Desoto Central High School (Oct 9). Recent-form percentile: 65.2.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 80.8 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing down — 0 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 7A, 4 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 2 spots to No. 90 (from No. 92). MFPI rating: increased 0.3 points to 58.7. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule +0.8 pts; points scored −0.7 pts; record −0.4 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.
