Week 9 explanation

Why Raleigh High School is ranked here

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 60.3 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 3 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 3A, 2 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 11 spots to No. 63 (from No. 52). MFPI rating: decreased 3.2 points to 67.5. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance −2.2 pts; mfpi strength of schedule +1.3 pts; points scored −1.1 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.
