Saline, Chelsea atop AnnArbor.com's premature Week 1 football power rankings

It may be a little premature to rank all the high school football teams in Washtenaw County after just one week of games, especially since only two of them - Ypsilanti and Milan - have played each other.

The rankings will get a little easier next week when more area teams begin to play each other and common opponents. Southeastern Conference teams playing each other as part of their non-conference schedule in Week 2 will be Ypsilanti and Saline, Dexter and Skyline, Whitmore Lake and Father Gabriel Richard, and Lincoln and Huron. Chelsea's game against Belleville should also provide somewhat of a gauge as Lincoln played the Tigers in Week 1.

So even though the case for each of these teams, good or bad, will be based on very little, we’ll give it a shot anyway:
