Week 9 explanation

Why Strayhorn High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 35–8 win over Coffeeville High School on Oct 1 (home), an opponent currently No. 200 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Recent results

L 20–52 vs. Water Valley High School (Oct 22); L 14–23 at East Union Attendance Center (Oct 16); L 0–41 vs. Myrtle Attendance Center (Oct 8). Recent-form percentile: 3.6.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 23.7 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing down — 1 game against higher classes, 3 in Class 2A, 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: down 1 spot to No. 210 (from No. 209). MFPI rating: decreased 1.2 points to 13.6. Largest component changes since Week 8: opponent-adjusted performance −0.6 pts; recent form −0.3 pts; points allowed −0.2 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.
