3. Carrollton
Previous Rank: No. 1 (-2)
Carrollton remains undefeated after a 42-0 shutout victory over 1-6 Chapel Hill on Friday night. Two games are left in their quest for a perfect season: road tilts at East Coweta and No. 9 Douglas County to close things out.
4. Buford
Previous Rank: No. 4
The Wolves bludgeoned Dacula 51-14 on Thursday night to move to 6-1 and stay in the top five of the Georgia rankings. Games against Central Gwinnett and Mountain View are up next before they close the season at No. 14 Mill Creek in a huge rivalry game.
5. North Gwinnett
Previous Rank: No. 5
The Bulldogs are 7-0 after beating Berkmar 35-0 on Wednesday night. They’ll travel to face winless North Gwinnett on Friday night before an important showdown with No. 21 Norcross the following week.
6. North Cobb
Previous Rank: No. 6
North Cobb is also still undefeated, by 1-6 Marietta gave them everything they could handle before ultimately falling 14-0. They’ll be heavily favored in each of their final three games before the playoffs, per the On3 Massey Ratings.
7. Valdosta

The Wildcats had one of the biggest wins of the weekend, squeezing past ranked Colquitt County 7-3 to keep their winning streak alive. Games against Richmond Hill, Tift County and No. 22 Lowndes are all that stands between them and an undefeated regular season.
8. Grayson
Previous Rank: No. 7 (-1)
The Rams haven’t played since September 20 after games were postponed by Hurricane Helene, then issues related to a chemical leak in Rockdale County. Its matchup against Newton on Sept. 27 was postponed, then that date was canceled and moved to the end of the Georgia season. They were then scheduled to face Rockdale County this week, but that was ultimately forfeited. As a result, their next game will be played on Friday, Oct. 25 at South Gwinnett.
9. Douglas County
Previous Rank: No. 10 (+1)
Douglas County got a pivotal win Friday night by beating Atlanta Westlake 14-0 to move to 7-1 on the season. After a bye this weekend, they’ll face Chapel Hill before a huge season-ending matchup against No. 3 Carrollton.
