North Clarion, which got a Top 10 win over then No. 7 A-C Valley last week, is a perfect 13-0, one of two District 9 teams that are unbeaten on the year. The other unbeaten is Otto-Eldred (12-0), which checks in at No. 2, the same as last week, but now tied with Kane (11-1) for the second spot. Coudersport (12-2) remains at No. 4 and Punxsutawney (8-5) sits at No. 5, the same as a week ago.

There is one new team in this week’s ratings with St. Marys (7-7) checking in at No. 15.

Clarion (5-8), who was No. 15 a week ago, drops out of the ratings.

Power ratings are different from rankings in that a power rating the rating is based on a combination of current events and overall body of work, which means while previous performances and results are taken into consideration they are not the end all be all of how a team is performing in a particular week whereas a ranking is based on a team’s entire body of work. Because the rankings/power ratings are not used to determine playoff positions or seeings in District 9, we have decided to go to a power rating system to better reflect how a team is currently performing.
