Bishop Feehan (No. 1, Division 1), Duxbury (No. 1, Division 2), Medfield (No. 1, Division 3), Douglas (No. 1, Division 4) and Granby (No. 1, Division 5) all held the top spot in their divisions in the MIAA’s latest girls soccer power rankings, released Tuesday and including scores entered into Arbiter as of Oct. 13 at 4 a.m. Medfield’s 6-1 win over Concord-Carlisle (No. 5, Division 1) pushed its rating to 5.5980, the highest in any division, and dropped Concord-Carlisle from No. 2 to No. 5 in Division 1. Behind the five leaders, Franklin (No. 2, Division 1), King Philip (No. 2, Division 2) and Sutton (No. 2, Division 4) are the new No. 2s in Divisions 1, 2 and 4.

Here is where every division stands, who moved the most since the MIAA’s Oct. 9 release, and which teams sit right on the tournament line with three weeks to the cutoff. All ranks, records and ratings below are the MIAA’s official numbers. For full tables, see the MIAA playoff hub and The Mass Pitch’s statewide rankings. See each division's projected bracket if the tournament started today: Division 1, Division 2, Division 3, Division 4, and Division 5.

How qualifying works (2026)

• The top 32 teams in the MIAA power rankings in each division qualify for the state tournament, regardless of record.
• Teams ranked 33rd or lower qualify for a preliminary-round play-in game if they have a .500 or better record.
• A team’s MIAA rating is its average margin of victory (capped at 3 goals either way in any one game) plus the average rating of its opponents. That is why a strong schedule can lift a team with a modest record, and why a team can move without playing when its opponents’ results change.
