Week 9 explanation

Why Pascagoula High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 17–8 win over Biloxi High School on Sep 4 (home), an opponent currently No. 70 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 85.7 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: mostly same class — 4 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 6A, 1 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 3 spots to No. 66 (from No. 63). MFPI rating: decreased 0.9 points to 66.3. Largest component changes since Week 8: media rank −0.5 pts; opponent-adjusted performance +0.5 pts; record −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.
