Week 8 power rankings: Where does YOUR team stand?

Several locals continue to shine.

Going into Week 9, the vast majority of local teams still have a shot to make the playoffs if things go their way in the final few weeks of the season. That, of course, should set the stage for some drama as we push toward the end of the regular season and into the playoffs.
