What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 14 spots to No. 130 (from No. 116). MFPI rating: decreased 6.3 points to 42.6. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance −2.2 pts; media rank −1.2 pts; recent form −1.1 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.
