Week 9 explanation

Why Loyd Star School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 38–28 win over Wilkinson County High on Oct 2 (away), an opponent currently No. 128 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

L 16–58 at Franklin High School (Oct 23); W 32–28 at Enterprise (Brookhaven) (Oct 16); L 6–40 vs. Wesson Attendance Center (Oct 9). Recent-form percentile: 18.8.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 15.6 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: mostly same class — 2 games against higher classes, 5 in Class 2A, 2 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 13 spots to No. 163 (from No. 150). MFPI rating: decreased 5.2 points to 33.1. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance −2.0 pts; points allowed −1.1 pts; media rank −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. 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.
