Week 9 explanation

Why Shaw High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 22–14 win over Leland High School on Sep 4 (home), an opponent currently No. 202 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

L 6–46 vs. Simmons High School (Oct 15); W 22–14 at West Bolivar High School (Oct 9); L 6–40 vs. South Delta High School (Oct 2). Recent-form percentile: 12.1.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 34.4 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 3 games against higher classes, 5 in Class 1A, 0 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: down 1 spot to No. 191 (from No. 190). MFPI rating: decreased 0.1 points to 21.2. This was a confirmed bye, so the score keeps 90% of last week's 21.32 and 10% of this week's recalculated 20.37. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance −0.6 pts; points allowed −0.2 pts; record +0.1 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.
