My internet has recently started dying off and on while playing TF2. It'll cut about every 10 minutes, then come back on, then cut again, etc. It almost always happens during matches, but never during pubbing or mge. Could it be something I can fix or is my net coincidentally deciding to jump ship during match time?

Well if you wanted to test if you were being hit like a DDos, just have a cmd in the background running ping -t google.com If it spikes during the times and dramatically goes up. Your ISP may have an issue. The other things you can do is stuff like tracert "ipaddy" to see if you have any dropped hops or things causing disconnects. In best accordance if you have access to it you could force reset your modem to ensure you are not getting an IP switch or dhcp timeout at that specific time. Most modems you can connect to through a home network by typing 192.168.100.1 in any browser. There are generally reboot buttons in there to restart the modem. In a final effort just to see what you are working with you could do a speedtest to see if you are getting the bandwidth you are supposed to and then once again it will fall back to your ISP. Sorry for the long winded explanation but those are your test checks before you either figure it is your ISP causing it, or your computer. In the case it is ISP, call them and say WTF.
Almost forgot ctrl c will stop the ping -t command that continuously pings whatever IP. It is easier to monitor on a second screen in the latter, on a death or something when it does start to drop. Alt tab and ctrl C it to see if your ping did in fact spike up.
