Week 9 explanation

Why St. Andrew’S is ranked here

Strongest result

A 28–26 win over McAdams Attendance Center on Sep 18 (home), an opponent currently No. 189 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

L 6–48 vs. Union High School (Oct 23); L 8–35 at Pisgah High School (Oct 16); L 12–48 vs. Southeast Lauderdale High School (Oct 9). Recent-form percentile: 2.7.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 13.4 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing down — 0 games against higher classes, 4 in Class 3A, 4 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: unchanged at No. 212. MFPI rating: decreased 1.5 points to 12.5. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance −0.8 pts; points allowed −0.5 pts; points scored −0.5 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.
