Week 9 explanation

Why St. Stanislaus is ranked here

Strongest result

A 33–12 win over Moss Point High School on Sep 11 (home), an opponent currently No. 168 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

L 19–34 at Presbyterian Christian School (Oct 23); W 29–0 vs. St. Patrick (Oct 16); L 13–18 at Tylertown High School (Oct 8). Recent-form percentile: 42.4.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 42.4 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 5 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 3A, 0 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 16 spots to No. 138 (from No. 154). MFPI rating: increased 3.7 points to 40.4. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule +2.1 pts; media strength of schedule +1.0 pts; opponent-adjusted performance +0.9 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.
