What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: up 10 spots to No. 161 (from No. 171). MFPI rating: increased 4.0 points to 33.9. Largest component changes since Week 8: mfpi strength of schedule +1.5 pts; opponent-adjusted performance +1.4 pts; media strength of schedule +0.8 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. 1 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.
