Todd’s Top 15 all-class teams
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Class AAAA teams are 29-16 this season against Class AAAAA opponents, and Northside of Warner Robins, the No. 1 team in AAAA, is the Georgia school that’s ranked highest by USA Today and other national polls.
Does this suggest that the top teams in AAAA — Northside, Thomas County Central (which crushed AAAAA Tift County last week) and Tucker are among the best five or six teams in Georgia — in any classification?
I don’t know if I’d go that far, but I do think it shows that if a team is dominant in AAAA, then it would also contend in AAAAA.
But there aren’t many dominant teams in AAAA.
There’s Northside, of course. Throw in Thomas County Cental and Tucker for the time being, and maybe Westside-Macon has that potential. We’ll find out soon about Statesboro and Baldwin.
After that, I don’t think any AAAA teams are among the 10-15 best in AAAAA.
Here’s my Top 15 all-class rankings, and they’re based partly on how good I think they can be, and partly on how well they’ve played, which might explain why they contradict our classification rankings.
1: Northside (AAAA)
2: Norcross
3: Coffee
4: Roswell
5: North Cobb
6: Lowndes
7: Tucker (AAAA)
8: Stephenson
9: Harrison
10: North Gwinnett
11: Camden County
12: Thomas County Central (AAAA)
13: Buford (AA)
14: Grayson
15: Peachtree Ridge
