Like losing in the district semifinals, falling out of the Trib 10 now is the harshest cut.

The simple reason is because there is no tomorrow. There is no consolation round or state playoff safety net in high school football.

You lose now and your season is over.

If you exit the power rankings now, there is no reentry.

Two teams were bounced in both the big school and small school power rankings while the same top four teams in each poll continue to win and close in on a golden shine.

Here is the latest Trib 10 big school and small school power rankings with overall record and ranking from last week.

These rankings have zero classification boundaries.
