September 3, 2024 | Billy Splain
It was a tough week for the rankings staff. This weekend saw a plethora of top ten teams go down. So much so that the gang considered scrapping the whole set and starting over. In the end, they realized it wasn’t that bad. Most of the top fives remained intact, it was the bottom of […]

October 31, 2023 | Billy Splain
This staff is just nailing these things every week! Not many changes at the top again, but, can they keep their accuracy during the playoffs when it’s win or go home? Six A stays the same. 5A we dropped Southern Lehigh after that blowout loss to 3A NW Lehigh, 4A saw TJ get dropped to […]
2023 Pennsylvania High School Football PFN Rankings Week 9
October 24, 2023 | Billy Splain
They’re on a roll! Once again not many changes made to the rankings. I’m starting to believe these helmet heads know something about football. They did do a little tweaking based on schedule strength and eye test (we’ve seen probably 90% of these teams live). 6A saw D-East move up a bit to a more […]
2023 Pennsylvania High School Football PFN Rankings Week 8
October 17, 2023 | Billy Splain
Couple little changes, and one HUGE change…. When you lose two games, pretty good chance you drop out the rankings. When you beat Southern Columbia, you get back in. Downingtown West got manhandled by Chester who moves up. Strath Haven lost a game they probably shouldn’t have lost and Lakeview got handed their first loss […]

Movement everywhere! As we dig into the season, it’s ineveitable that ranked teams play each other. This past week saw several matchups of ranked teams.
