MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 75.4 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing down — 0 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 6A, 5 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 3 spots to No. 65 (from No. 62). MFPI rating: decreased 0.6 points to 66.8. Largest component changes since Week 8: media strength of schedule +0.4 pts; points allowed −0.4 pts; record −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.
