What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: up 1 spot to No. 25 (from No. 26). MFPI rating: increased 0.7 points to 82.8. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule −1.7 pts; points allowed +1.4 pts; points scored +0.5 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.
