Trib 10: South Hills swap brings new team into WPIAL football power rankings

Following big changes to the Trib 10 a week ago, things settled in with the start of October football around the district.

The only change from last week in the power rankings came after a clash of unbeaten teams resulted in No. 2 Upper St. Clair defeating No. 9 South Fayette, 17-7.

However, following the swap of another Class 5A Allegheny Six Conference team replacing South Fayette, we will see No. 2 vs. No. 9 again in Week 7 as second-ranked Upper St. Clair visits the new No. 9 and also undefeated Bethel Park.

That marks the only head-to-head battle of power-ranked teams as we kick off the stretch run of the regular season.

Here are the latest Trib 10 power rankings with overall records and last week’s rankings. These rankings have zero classification boundaries.
