Scott Burnstein’s Oakland County football rankings after Week 5:
1 Walled Lake Western (5-0) — Yes, these guys are that good, no more warning shots.
2 Rochester Adams (4-1) — Just coldblooded in every way possible.
3 West Bloomfield (4-1) — Must refocus and tighten things up on both sides of the rock.
4 Clarkston (3-2) — This Wolves ‘D’ is primed, pesky and poised for a turn-around, see Week 5 effort vs. Oxford.
5 Novi Detroit Catholic Central (4-1) — Iron sharpens iron, see three-sport senior stud Brady Blakita.
6 Southfield A&T (4-1) — Defense rounding into shape, this club could be lethal down the stretch.
7 South Lyon (4-1) — Dialed in, doling out woodshed-style whoopings.
8 Birmingham Brother Rice (2-3) — Considerably better than their record indicates, ready for whatever the future has in store.
9 Birmingham Seaholm (5-0) — Very well might run the table on the regular season
10 Lake Orion (3-2) — Judah Kinne has a Thor-like, superhero-quality to his play in the trenches.
