Why Puckett Attendance Center is ranked here

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 1 spot to No. 160 (from No. 159). MFPI rating: increased 0.8 points to 35.6. Largest component changes since Week 8: recent form +0.6 pts; mfpi strength of schedule −0.6 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.
