Week 9 explanation

Why Louisville High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 28–0 win over Shannon High School on Sep 4 (home), an opponent currently No. 19 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

W 50–7 vs. Mendenhall High School (Oct 23); W 42–0 vs. Gentry High School (Oct 16); W 59–38 at Kosciusko Senior High School (Oct 9). Recent-form percentile: 99.1.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 87.5 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 2 games against higher classes, 5 in Class 4A, 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 5 spots to No. 6 (from No. 11). MFPI rating: increased 2.4 points to 91.6. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance +0.6 pts; points scored +0.6 pts; mfpi strength of schedule +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.
