Rank, Previous, School (Record, classification)
1. (1) St. Augustine (6-0, Class 3S)
Last week: d. Nease, 49-30.
This week: Off.
Notable: The Yellow Jackets got a little more of a game than expected last week against the Panthers. QB Locklan Hewlett returned to the lineup after a three-week injury break. There’s not much left on the regular season schedule in terms of legitimate upset opportunities.
2. (2) Bradford (6-0, Class 2S)
Last week: d. Oakleaf, 12-0.
This week: at True North Classical (5-0), 3:30 p.m.
Notable: The Tornadoes have yet to allow a team to score more than a touchdown in a game this season. They choked Oakleaf’s offense out last week. There’s a lengthy road trip to Miami this week, but it shouldn’t faze the Tornadoes too much.,
3. (3) Bartram Trail (3-3, Class 4S)
Last week: lost to IMG Academy, 49-20.
This week: vs. Creekside (3-3).
Notable: The Bears’ losses are to Daytona Beach Mainland, IMG and St. Augustine, teams who are a combined 17-0. Difficult to penalize them too much for a gauntlet like that.
4. (6) Ponte Vedra (5-1, Class 4S)
Last week: d. Bishop Kenny, 55-20.
This week: vs. Tocoi Creek (4-3).
Notable: The Sharks are surging. They’ve won five straight since a 20-17 loss to Bartram Trail in Week 1. They make the big jump of the week. QB Ben Burk, RB Brian Case and TE Landon Okla give this team a very talented offensive trio.
5. (4) Mandarin (5-2 Class 4M)
Last week: d. Westside, 49-6.
This week: vs. Fleming Island (2-4), 6:30 p.m.
Notable: The Mustangs got back on track after back-to-back losses to Creekside and Lake Mary. They had no issue against Westside and likely won’t have any problems with a slumping Golden Eagles team.
6. (8) Raines (5-1, Class 2M)
Last week: d. First Coast, 27-26.
This week: vs. Ribault (3-3), at First Coast, Saturday, 2 p.m.
Notable: The Vikings have been living dangerously all season and skirted a big upset last week against the Buccaneers. Their biggest game of the season is Saturday in the Northwest Classic against the Trojans.
7. (9) Creekside (3-3, Class 4S)
Last week: Off.
This week: at (3) Bartram Trail (3-3).
Notable: The Knights make the rare jump during a bye week. They’ve got a massive showdown against rival Bartram this week, a team that it is 1-15 against all time.
8. (NR) Riverside (5-2, Class 2M)
Last week: d. Trinity Christian, 14-12.
This week: vs. Jackson (3-3), 6:30 p.m.
Notable: The Generals make their jump into the Super 10 after beating Trinity Christian at the wire last week. They’ve already wrapped up a state playoff berth as a district champ. Now, it’s about staying healthy for the postseason.
9. (10) Suwannee (6-0, Class 2S)
Last week: d. Santa Fe, 49-7.
This week: at Madison County (3-1), 7:30 p.m.
Notable: The Bulldogs romped last week, but things get much more difficult with a trip to Boot Hill this week. After that, it’s Wakulla (Oct. 27) and Bradford (Nov. 3) to wrap up the regular season.
10. (5) Bolles (3-4, Class 2M)
Last week: lost to Columbia, 35-31.
This week: at Wolfson (3-3), 6:30 p.m.
Notable: The Bulldogs hang on this week and edge out Trinity Christian after a disappointing loss to Columbia. I had quite a bit of trouble with this spot this week, fluctuating between the Bulldogs and Conquerors. Bolles gets the nod due to its head to head win over Trinity.
