Week 9 explanation

Why Magee High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 29–7 win over Raleigh High School on Oct 16 (home), an opponent currently No. 63 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

W 29–7 vs. Raleigh High School (Oct 16); W 48–7 at McLaurin Attendance Center (Oct 9); W 22–6 vs. Jefferson Davis County High School (Oct 2). Recent-form percentile: 83.5.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 38.8 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing down — 1 game against higher classes, 4 in Class 3A, 3 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: up 2 spots to No. 72 (from No. 74). MFPI rating: increased 0.3 points to 63.5. This was a confirmed bye, so the score keeps 90% of last week's 63.16 and 10% of this week's recalculated 66.64. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule +1.7 pts; opponent-adjusted performance +0.9 pts; media strength of schedule +0.7 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.
