Football Power Rankings – after week 8

For your enjoyment, here are the latest District Three and Six football power rankings. As you may or may not have noticed in this week's issue of the Chronicle, I wrote that the Bears were tied with Red Land at the top of the District. Well, they're not. My apologies, as the Bears are still at the top of the heap – all by themselves. Donegal has made an appearance in the top 20, coming in 20th.

1. Elizabethtown, 8-0 overall, 138 power points.
2. Red Land, 8-0, 135.
3. Northern, 8-0, 123.
4. Hershey, 7-1, 120.
5. West York, 7-1, 116.
6. Greencastle-Antrim, 7-1, 107.
7. Gettysburg, 7-1, 106.
8. Daniel Boone, 6-2, 101.
9. Conrad Weiser, 6-2, 98.
10. Lampeter-Strasburg, 6-2, 96.
11. Solanco, 5-3, 86.
12. Manheim Central, 5-3, 83.
13. Northern Lebanon, 6-2, 78.
14. Shippensburg, 6-2, 77.
15. Cocalico, 5-3, 76.
16. Spring Grove, 4-4, 71.
16. Susquehannock, 5-3, 71.
18. Hamburg, 5-3, 65.
18. New Oxford, 4-4, 65.
20. Donegal, 5-3, 61.

Also, the Patriot-News released its updated state rankings too. It still amazes me that the Bears aren't getting any love from Harrisburg.
Class AAA
1. Thomas Jefferson (District 7), 8-0.
2. Berwick (2), 7-1.
3. Red Land (3), 8-0.
4. West Scranton (2), 7-1.
5. Montour (7), 8-0.
6. Titusville (10), 7-0.
7. Unionville (1), 8-0.
8. Chartiers Valley (7), 6-2.
9. Pine-Richland (7), 7-1.
10. Gettysburg (3), 7-1.

E-town did get honorable mention, but how in the world can TWO district three teams be ranked ahead of them in the state rankings? Makes no sense to me. Something tells me that if Central were 8-0, they'd be ranked in the top 3. Maybe if the Bears beat Central tomorrow night and go to 9-0 they might get some love.
