Week 9 explanation

Why Senatobia High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 34–27 win over New Albany High School on Sep 4 (away), an opponent currently No. 51 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

W 13–0 at Aberdeen High School (Oct 23); W 14–8 vs. Rosa Fort High School (Oct 16); W 21–7 vs. Clarksdale High School (Oct 9). Recent-form percentile: 78.6.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 50.9 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing down — 1 game against higher classes, 4 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: down 1 spot to No. 40 (from No. 39). MFPI rating: decreased 1.9 points to 75.6. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule −0.8 pts; points scored −0.7 pts; opponent-adjusted performance −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.
