Week 9 explanation

Why Raymond High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 18–0 win over Crystal Springs High School on Sep 4 (home), an opponent currently No. 217 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

L 8–56 vs. Morton High School (Oct 23); L 14–56 at Forest High School (Oct 16); L 0–43 vs. Richland High School (Oct 9). Recent-form percentile: 10.3.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 43.3 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: mostly same class — 2 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 4A, 3 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 10 spots to No. 194 (from No. 204). MFPI rating: increased 2.5 points to 19.6. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule +1.6 pts; opponent-adjusted performance +0.6 pts; media strength of schedule +0.6 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.
