Week 1 of the IHSA playoffs provided almost no damage to the members of the Friday Night Drive Power Rankings.

Just two of the top 25 lost in Week 10, with one of those losses coming to another member of the top 25 as Fenwick toppled Brother Rice.

None of the top 16 teams suffered a setback.

Two teams moved or returned to the Top 25 as Libertyville entered at No. 24 and Maine South rounded out the Top 25 with its return in the 25th position.

Here are the complete Friday Night Drive Power Rankings:
