The jump of the week goes to the Jacob Hespeler Hawks, who slide back up three spots after beating WODSS yesterday.
Here's this week's edition:
1. Waterloo CI Vikings / Waterloo
Last Week: #1
The Vikings demolished the (then) unbeaten WODSS Crusaders on Tuesday by 39 points. That's all you need to know.
2. St. John's College Green Eagles / Brantford
Last Week: #2
The Eagles wrapped up first place in the BCSSAA standings by getting past North Park on Tuesday. They'll open up the playoffs against Brantford CI in the semifinals next week.
3. Assumption College Lions / Brantford
Last Week: #3
No change this week for the Lions, who will need to take care of North Park in the BCSSAA semifinals before setting their sights on taking out the Green Eagles in the Brantford finals.
4. Jacob Hespeler SS Hawks / Cambridge (AAA)
Last Week: #7
The Hawks have been up-and-down these rankings on a weekly basis; this week, they're back up as a result of a strong home win against Waterloo-Oxford.
5. Bishop Macdonell HS Celtics / Guelph (AA)
Last Week: #5
The Celts will face a big test to remaining undefeated next Thursday at home against Lourdes. I'm thinking that they'll get it done, but look for those teams to battle it out for the D10 title and the "AA" CWOSSA berth.
6. Waterloo-Oxford DSS Crusaders / Baden
Last Week: #4
An 0-2 WCSSAA week drops the Crusaders down, although they've faced a brutal schedule lately with (arguably) the top three teams excluding themselves in a row --- Bluevale, WCI, and Jacob Hespeler yesterday. Expect them to finish 3rd with a win over SJAM on Tuesday.
7. Bluevale CI Knights / Waterloo
Last Week: #6
The Knights actually had a great week, with two huge wins, but I have to put them down one as a result of Jacob's win over WODSS. The Knights' game against CHCI could have huge CWOSSA implications, so keep an eye on that one.
8. North Park CVS Trojans / Brantford (AAA)
Last Week: #8
The Trojans capped their season with a comfortable win over Pauline Johnson last night. They shouldn't be overlooked in the Brant County playoffs, although I do think their best chance at a championship might be at "AAA" CWOSSA.
9. Southwood SS Sabres / Cambridge (AAA)
Last Week: #10
The Sabres have reeled off 6 league wins in a row to put themselves in position for a top-5 seed. Definitely a team that a lot of WCSSAA coaches wouldn't want to meet in the qualifying round, or the quarterfinals.
T10. Our Lady of Lourdes CHS Crusaders / Guelph (AA)
Last Week: NR
The second Crusader team in the rankings, Lourdes creeps back in as a result of another solid week in league that saw them pull off two more wins.
T10. Cameron Heights CI Golden Gaels / Kitchener
Last Week: #9
Yes, the Gaels did beat Southwood earlier this year, but the Power Ranking is a "snapshot" in time and based on how I feel the teams stack up at this point. As such, CHCI's loss to Elmira yesterday and a challenging win against Grand River drop them one spot this week.
Honourable Mentions
Resurrection CSS / Kitchener
John F. Ross CVI / Guelph
St. James CHS / Guelph
