Besides one cat exchange, the district power structure remained unchanged through opening night of the WPIAL football playoffs.

Expect things to be different after night two of the postseason.

There is only one head-to-head matchup as McKeesport visits Armstrong in a Class 4A quarterfinal clash of styles; however, there are no byes and the opposition cranks up for the district power teams as we hit the midway point of the four-week playoffs in 4A, 3A, 2A and A.

The championship game will be set after a soggy Friday in 6A and 5A.

Here are the latest Trib 10 power rankings. Teams are listed with overall record, last week’s ranking and upcoming opponent in Week 11. These rankings have zero classification boundaries.
