Week 9 explanation

Why Potts Camp High School (5-12) is ranked here

Strongest result

A 40–36 win over Strayhorn High School on Aug 28 (home), an opponent currently No. 210 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

W 50–8 vs. Ashland Middle-High School (Oct 23); W 54–19 at H. W. Byers High School (5-12) (Oct 16); W 60–14 vs. Tharptown (Oct 1). Recent-form percentile: 28.6.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 0.0 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 3 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 1A, 0 against lower classes, and 1 against non-MHSAA or out-of-state opponents (rated by results, not by class).

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: up 3 spots to No. 179 (from No. 182). MFPI rating: increased 0.9 points to 25.4. Largest component changes since Week 8: points allowed +1.4 pts; opponent-adjusted performance −0.8 pts; points scored +0.3 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.
