In our Week 4 football rankings, Class A had the wildest week, as multiple public and private ranked teams met defeat. A-Public was especially hit hard, but Irwin County emerged unscathed and took over at No. 1 for Lincoln County, which lost to longtime rival Washington-Wilkes.
In Class AAAAA, Gainesville was humbled by AAA No. 1 Buford, and tumbled to No. 7 as a result. Northside-Warner Robins took over the top spot.
Valdosta debuted in the Class AAAAAA rankings after a demolition of Class AA-power Brooks County. The Wildcats are 2-0 with victories over Class AAAAA No. 5 Thomas County Central as well as Brooks County.
Creekside makes an appearance in the Class AAAAA poll after a 2-0 start, while Pierce County says hello to the Class AAA top 10.
In AA, Thomasville entered at No. 10 after a 2-1 start against a rough schedule.
