The Trib 10 became the Perfect 10 in Week 8.
All 10 teams from last week’s power rankings were winners in the next-to-last weekend of the regular season.
That won’t happen in Week 9 with a pair of head-to-head matchups with North Allegheny visiting Pine-Richland in 6A and Aliquippa hosting Central Valley in 3A.
Plus the six other teams — Thomas Jefferson, Penn-Trafford, Central Catholic, Gateway, Penn Hills and South Fayette — are all facing playoff-bound opponents.
Here are the rankings heading into Week 9. These rankings have zero classification boundaries. Last week’s ranking follows current record.
