MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 21.0 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing down — 1 game against higher classes, 3 in Class 3A, 5 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 9 spots to No. 170 (from No. 161). MFPI rating: decreased 3.5 points to 30.4. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance −1.4 pts; recent form −0.6 pts; points scored −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.
