GameDayRanks — St. Louis Metro Power Rankings

East St. Louis opens #1 with essentially all of its production back (103% progression-weighted — a young core that grows). CBC and Cardinal Ritter lead the Missouri side. Lutheran South projects #99 of 108; we publish our own number wherever it lands, and every ranking re-rates weekly once games begin.
