AJC Football Rankings: Good region title news for SPX, P-Ridge, East
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Past midseason, I never honestly thought that East Paulding would wind up with a No. 1 seed, or that North Gwinnett wouldn’t.
But that’s what it says in next week’s paper. I don’t have a scanner, so I took some notes on what I read. If something just looks wrong, let me know and I’ll go back and look again. I was in a hurry.
So check out these seeds for the state playoffs below.
An asterisk (*) means the seed is clinched and I didn’t need next week’s paper to tell me. By the way, there are 16 games this week where the winner takes the region title. There are two others (Harrison vs. Etowah and Charlton vs. McIntosh Academy) where a three-way tie could result.
As for the rankings, here are unranked teams that I’m starting to like (along with ranked teams that I’m skeptical about, in parentheses): Etowah (Walton), Brunswick (Evans), Flowery Branch (Jackson), Dublin and Blessed Trinity (Henry County) and Twiggs County.
Todd talks back: Holcomb mixes it up with you all week long. Catch his running commentary in Poll Talk Monday-Friday. Leave comments, questions, etc., here and return to talk about this week’s rankings.
