Seven games were played between Top 10 teams, leading to some movement.

No. 2 Carrollton beat previous No. 6 Westlake 66-27 in Class 7A, dropping Westlake to No. 8.

No. 2 Creekside beat previous No. 7 Hughes 23-0 in Class 6A, dropping Hughes to No. 10.

Also in 6A, previous No. 5 Milton beat previous No. 4 Gainesville 49-46, causing those teams to trade positions.

Also beating Top 10 teams were Prince Avenue Christian and Holy Innocents’ in 4A-2A Private and Charlton County and Taylor County in Class A, but those caused no significant changes.

Milton was the only lower-ranked team to win a Top 10 game.

The last time no Top 10 team dropped out was Oct. 29, 2012, when only six classes were ranked.

The Top 10’s 58-0 record against unranked teams marked the first time ranked teams have gone undefeated in those games since Oct. 19-25, 2009, when they were 42-0.
