This bracket comes down to the strength of the schedule.
Northampton is currently ranked #2. They most likely will not remain there. They play: Pocono Mountain East, Louis E. Dieruff, and William Allen combined a .125 winning .pct. That strength of schedule will drop them down considerably.
Emmaus has Nazareth, Easton, and Parkland and if they win out will be the #1 seed.
Freedom has Panther Valley, Bethlehem Catholic, and Bethlehem Liberty. The Patriots are favored to win in every game that is left and is my favorite to be the #1 seed.
Easton can also move up drastically if they beat: Liberty, Emmaus, and Nazareth.
Parkland controls its own Destiny: Bethlehem Catholic, Liberty, and Emmaus. Although, Bethlehem Catholic is a 4A team and Liberty has a 1-6 record, all hits to the power rating. They are ranked 9th in the state in the PA Football News poll.
My predicted finish for 6A power rankings is:
The top 8 make the postseason.
