It's early in the high school football season, so the Washtenaw County Power Rankings are going to shuffle more than Cupid.

Get it...Cupid Shuffle?

Ok, that was bad. These rankings are going to go up and down more than...wait, never mind. I know we're switching platforms here at AnnArbor.com, but the jokes that are about to follow that will get me fired no matter what URL I'm at.

Corny or inappropriate jokes aside, let's keep it simple and just say the rankings changed...a lot.

Only two teams stayed put: Saline, who also got a nod in the first Associated Press state rankings, and Manchester, which won big in its Cascades Conference win against Napoleon. The biggest drop was Chelsea, falling from the No. 2 spot all the way to No. 7 after its last-minute loss to Belleville.
