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

With very few eyebrow raisers on opening night of the district playoffs, there are zero changes from last week in the power rankings.

Two ranked teams enjoyed a Class 6A bye while the other eight teams were taking care of business in either first round or quarterfinal contests.

Now things should start to get interesting in the second week of the WPIAL postseason.

While there are no head-to-head battles of ranked teams, the opponents are a lot tougher and include former top 10 teams Seneca Valley, McKeesport, Franklin Regional and Belle Vernon.

Will these 10 powers advance to the finals or final four in their respective class with wins this week or will there be a big changing of the guard heading into Heinz Field?

Here are the rankings heading into Week 11.
