Last week: beat Atlantic Coast, 57-0. Next: Playoffs.

4. (3) Bolles (9-1, Class 2A)
Last week: beat (7) Columbia, 31-0. Next: Playoffs.
Why they’re here: I’ll probably regret dropping the Bulldogs a spot, but that’s just how it shook out this week after Mandarin’s win. Bolles is still the area’s top pick for a state title.
5. (5) Nease (8-2, Class 6A)
Last week: beat Beachside, 47-17. Next: Playoffs.
Why they’re here: The Panthers look very good on the defensive side of the ball heading into the playoffs.
6. (6) Bradford (9-1, Class 2A)
Last week: Off. Next: Playoffs.
Why they’re here: The Tornadoes should be able to tear through their first two regional playoff games. They’re a very good pick for a regional final at the minimum.
7. (8) Oakleaf (8-2, Class 6A)
Last week: beat Tocoi Creek, 31-8. Next: Playoffs.
Why they’re here: The Knights bounced back from a disappointing effort against Mandarin to thump the Toros.

Last week: beat Baldwin, 48-42, OT. Next: Playoffs.
Why they’re here: The Commanders finished with a state record 537 points scored in the regular season. Even with a porous defense, they can put up numbers and should be a threat in Region 1-4A.
10. (7) Columbia (8-2, Class 4A)
Last week: lost to (3) Bolles, 31-0. Next: Playoffs.
Why they’re here: The Tigers have struggled offensively against good teams, so they’ll need to crank it up for the postseason.
