Rank, Previous, School (Record, classification)

1. (1) St. Augustine (9-0, Class 3S)

Last week: d. Palatka, 41-6.

This week: vs. Middleburg (5-5), Region 1-3S quarterfinals, 7:30 p.m.

Notable: The Yellow Jackets are a state championship contender in Region 1-3S and they’d have homefield advantage through the state semifinals. They are very, very good.

2. (2) Bradford (10-0, Class 2S)

Last week: d. Suwannee, 35-3.

This week: vs. Port Orange Atlantic (5-5), Region 2-2S quarterfinals, 7:30 p.m.

Notable: The Tornadoes are surging and a legitimate state championship contender after losing in the state semifinals last year. Jamie Rodgers’ defense is wicked tough.

3. (4) Raines (9-1, Class 2M)

Last week: d. Westside, 53-0.

This week: vs. (8) Jackson (3-7), Region 1-2M quarterfinals, 6:30 p.m.

Notable: The Vikings are excellent and they should be the favorite in Region 1-2M to reach the state semifinals. They’ll likely face Bolles in the second round.

4. (6) Bartram Trail (6-4, Class 4S)

Last week: d. Mandarin, 24-14.

This week: at (6) Navarre (7-3), Region 1-4S quarterfinals, 8:30 p.m.

Notable: A win over Mandarin last week made this week a long road trip for the Bears. Bartram may be a four-loss team, but those have been against teams who are a combined 36-1.

5. (4) Mandarin (7-3 Class 4M)

Last week: lost to Bartram Trail, 24-14.

This week: at (4) Winter Park (9-0), Region 1-4M quarterfinals, 7:30 p.m.

Notable: A loss last week pushed the Mustangs into a disappointing No. 5 seed in the region and a road playoff game. A win here and it’s likely Apopka in the second round.

6. (7) Riverside (8-2, Class 2M)

Last week: d. Ribault, 32-23.

This week: vs. Episcopal (5-5), Region 1-2M quarterfinals, 6:30 p.m.

Notable: The Generals have been solid all season. Can they stay hot and reach their first state semifinal since 2016? They should make a serious push for coach Antwan Nicholas.

7. (9) Trinity Christian (7-3, Class 1M)

Last week: d. Specially Fit Academy 47-21.

This week: Bye. (Host University Christian in Region 1-1M semifinal on Nov. 17).

Notable: The Conquerors finished the season strong and get a week off before hosting rival UC. Trinity is the heavy favorite to reach the Class 1M state semifinals after missing out last year.

8. (10) Creekside (6-4, Class 4S)

Last week: d. Ponte Vedra, 26-21.

This week: at (10) Ponte Vedra (7-3), Region 1-4S quarterfinals.

Notable: The Knights had no margin for error down the stretch and didn’t make one. Can they beat the Sharks for the second consecutive week?

9. (NR) Nease (7-3, Class 4S)

Last week: d. Tocoi Creek, 47-27.

This week: vs. Niceville (8-2), Region 1-4S quarterfinals, 6 p.m.

Notable: What a season for the Panthers. They came from out of nowhere to snag a district title and a playoff berth. The home game as a No. 7 seed is just a perk.

10. (5) Ponte Vedra (7-3, Class 4S)

Last week: lost to Creekside, 26-21.

This week: vs. (8) Creekside (6-4), Region 1-4S quarterfinals.

Notable: The Sharks have to get things turned around quickly. They’ve let a district title and a No. 2 seed in the playoffs slip away from them over the past two weeks.

Bolles (5-5, Class 2M).
