Every Tuesday during the 2018 WPIAL football season, the TribLive High School Sports Network will release weekly Power Rankings. These rankings have zero classification boundaries.

Very few changes from the debut Trib 10 last week since eight teams won, one lost and one scrimmaged.

The team that lost was Pine-Richland, but the Rams remain No. 1 after losing to nationally-ranked IMG Academy from Florida.

Central Catholic moves up after defeating nationally-ranked Cathedral Prep, ending the Ramblers 28-game winning streak.

Here are the rankings heading into Week 1.
