Week 9 explanation

Why Warren Central High School is ranked here

Strongest result

A 42–35 win over Germantown High School on Sep 11 (away), an opponent currently No. 13 statewide. “Strongest” means the defeated MHSAA opponent with the best current MFPI rank, not its rank when the game was played.

Schedule strength

MFPI strength-of-schedule percentile 90.2 (100 = the strongest completed schedule statewide). Classification path: playing up — 4 games against higher classes, 3 in Class 6A, 1 against lower classes.

What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: unchanged at No. 3. MFPI rating: unchanged at 94.3. Largest component changes since Week 8: points allowed +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.
