It's all about the Power Ratings standings at this point in the season. Several Acadiana area schools are high up in the rankings in their respective divisions.

But of the eight total divisions across Select and Non-Select, there are only two Acadiana area teams that are #1 in the Power Ratings.

Erath (6-1) sits atop the Division III Non-Select rankings while
Vermilion Catholic (7-0) is in familiar territory as the top dog in Division IV Select.

Ironically, Erath's only loss was in Week 4 to Vermilion Catholic when they fell at home by a score of 41-34.
