OHSAA Power Rankings (Jan. 30, 2020)

We have two new No. 1 teams after the first two editions of the OHSAA Power Rankings were stagnant at the top. St. Edward (Div. I) and Ottawa-Glandorf (Div. III), though, have racked up signature wins, giving them the nod to leapfrog Moeller and Taft respectively. The margins are narrow, almost minuscule, though.
Also, five new teams joined the Power Rankings, while four others shot up the charts.
We’ve significantly trimmed around the edges, too, by taking a lot of teams off the radar. The group of teams who could realistically enter the top 10 is a much smaller group than it was at the beginning of the month.
