All 10 teams in last week’s HSSN football power rankings were home in Week 8, and all 10 scored victories to keep their district championship hopes alive.

However, while there are no changes to the Trib 10 this week, that certainly won’t be the case next week.

The challenges become more difficult as the WPIAL postseason moves into the semifinals round and, for Class 6A, the title game.

In fact, there are a pair of head-to-heads matchups between power-ranked teams, both in Class 5A. Gateway hosts Peters Township and Penn-Trafford visits Pine-Richland.

Once again, all of the teams below will have their games video streamed on Trib HSSN with the exception of the 6A title game, which will be broadcast on the audio side.

Here are this week’s rankings. Teams are listed with record and last week’s ranking. These rankings have zero classification boundaries.

1. Pine-Richland, 7-0, (1), hosts No. 10 Penn-Trafford on Friday on HSSN

2. Gateway, 5-0, (2), hosts No. 5 Peters Township on Friday on HSSN
