Super 10 football rankings

Rank, Previous, School, Record, Classification

1. (1) Trinity Christian (5-0), 1M

Last week: Off.

This week: at Riverside (2-4), 6:30 p.m.

Notable: The Conquerors made it through the most difficult part of their schedule unscathed. They’ll try and stick another loss on a Generals team that is breaking in a brand new turf field. Their big game comes next week in a showdown with No. 6 University Christian that will decide the District 1-1M title.

2. (2) Bartram Trail (5-0), 4S

Last week: Off.

This week: vs. Fleming Island (3-1, 0-1)*.

Notable: The Bears, along with Gainesville Buchholz, are likely co-district favorites. They can’t afford a loss along the way. Can they keep that offense humming after dropping 59 on St. Augustine in Week 5?

3. (3) Jackson (5-1), 2M

Tuesday’s result: d. Ribault, 21-6*.

This week: Off.

Notable: The Tigers handled business in the second half, pulling away from the Trojans in a big district win. The Raines game on Oct. 28 will decide the district title, which would be Jackson’s first since 2009.

4. (4) Creekside (4-1), 4S

Last week: Off.

This week: at Oakleaf (3-2, 1-0), Thursday*.

Notable: A major district showdown against the Knights of Clay County. With one district loss already, a second one would essentially eliminate Creekside from the district title race, barring a chain reaction of unlikely upsets.

5. (5) White (4-1), 2M

Last week: Off.

This week: vs. Fletcher (4-2)

Notable: The Commanders have been one of the area’s best all season (loss was to No. 1 Trinity). Their game last week against an always tough Madison County was wiped out by Hurricane Ian. A tough test against the Senators is up next.

6. (6) University Christian (6-0), 1M

Last week: d. Providence, 49-7*.

This week: vs. NFEI (2-3, 0-1), 7:30 p.m.*

Notable: The Christians are plowing along and hammering every opponent that they’ve seen. Barring something wild, UC and Trinity will enter a Week 8 showdown for the District 1-1M title both unbeaten.

7. (9) Bradford (6-0), 2S

Monday’s result: d. Keystone Heights, 38-0*.

This week: Off.

Notable: The Tornadoes notched two wins this week, a rout of Keystone and the completion of a Week 1 game against Baker County. The Tornadoes were leading that game 21-0 in the second quarter when it was postponed due to the weather. It won’t be made up. Bradford has allowed just one touchdown in five and a half games. The Tornadoes will face Palatka in Week 10, a game that will determine the District 6-2S champ.

8. (8) Raines (4-1), 2M

Last week: d. Riverside, 34-14.

This week: vs. Ribault (3-3, 0-1), Saturday, 2 p.m.*.

Notable: The Vikings came alive with a 26-point second half to drop the Generals on Monday. There’s no room to let up with the rival Trojans in the Northwest Classic on Saturday.

9. (10) Bishop Kenny (6-0), 2M

Last week: d. Wolfson, 31-0*.

This week: vs. Ponte Vedra (2-3).

Notable: The chance for a 2-0 week for the Crusaders, who are barreling toward a Week 10 showdown with Bolles for the District 2-2M title. Kenny also has a tough University Christian left, too.

10. (7) Fleming Island (3-1), 4S

Last week: Off.

This week: at (2) Bartram Trail (5-0, 0-0)*.

Notable: The Golden Eagles swapped their original game against Lake Minneola for a district matchup with the No. 2 Bears. A loss in this one effectively ends their district title hopes. Big stakes for Fleming.
