Lansing-Area High School Football Power Rankings: Week 3

Williamston has cracked our weekly power rankings with a 2-0 start.

No changes at the top of this week's rankings, but there are some in the bottom five.

Conference play begins in the CAAC this week, and I expect more changes in the next week or two. There are 16 area teams that are 2-0.
