Limitations

Ratings use only verified final scores through Oct 27, 2026, 11:00 AM CDT. 3 listing(s) for this team were still awaiting a verified score. 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.
