Georgia State Playoffs

AAAAA:

1. Norcross (10-0)
2. Tift County (9-1)
3. Camden County (9-1)
4. North Gwinnett (9-1)
5. Brookwood (8-2)
6. Central Gwinnett (8-2)
7. Roswell (9-1)
8. Coffee (8-2)
9. M.L. King (9-1)
10. Campbell (8-2)

- The two time defending state champion Lowndes Vikings finished fifth in region 1-AAAAA and will not be in the playoffs. For the first time since 1993, no team from Valdosta will be in the State Playoffs.
-Windsor Forest's matchup with Union Grove will be the first state playoff game involving a Savannah public school at Memorial Stadium since 1993. BC played the last playoff game at Memorial in 2000 against Evans.
-Colquitt Co., who was ranked as high as #3 in the state, did not qualify for the playoffs.
-Traditional power Parkview squeaked in as the #4 seed from region 8-AAAAA but did draw one of the weakest 1 seeds in Etowah.
-Norcross, Camden Co., and Warner Robins are in the same quarter of one brackett which is very unfortunate.
Favorites: Norcross and Tift. Co.
Sleeper: Parkview
Possible Pre-Dome GTW: 2nd round- Camden Co. vs. Warner Robins

AAAA:

1. Northside-Warner Robins (10-0)
2. Griffin (10-0)
3. Creekside (10-0)
4. Baldwin (9-1)
5. Marist (9-1)
6. Rome (9-1)
7. Mays (9-1)
8. Dacula (9-1)
9. Ware County (8-2)
10. Statesboro (9-1)

-Statesboro, who is coming off their first regular season loss in over 3 years, gets matched up against one of the best 3 seeds in the playoffs with Westlake. The Lions have the 14th ranked QB in the country, Florida commit Cameron Newton.
-Region 1-AAAA only has 4 teams, which means each team qualified for the playoffs. In the first round they are matched up against region 4, arguably the toughest in the state. Expect 3 blowouts and Westside-Macon could also handle Thomas Co. Central.
-Undefeated and 2nd ranked Griffin will have to defeat #3 Creekside in the second round and most likely Marist in the quarterfinals just to get to the dome.
-AAAA had the best record against other classifications in head to head matchups this year.
Favorites: Northside-Warner Robins and Griffin
Sleeper: St. Pius
PP-DGTW: 2nd round- Creekside vs. Griffin

AAA:

1. LaGrange (10-0)
2. Peach County (9-1)
3. Cartersville (9-1)
4. Carrollton (9-1)
5. Carver-Columbus (9-1)
6. Stephens County (9-1)
7. Washington County (8-2)
8. Thomson (9-1)
9. Shaw (8-2)
10. North Hall (9-1)

- # 1 ranked Lagrange is set to meet # 2 Peach Co. in the second round. Obsurd.
- Even though region 3 has two teams ranked in the top 10, being swept by region 2 is a good possibility.
-BC's subregion counterparts South Effingham and Liberty Co. will be doing well to be within 3 touchdowns of LaGrange and Shaw at Halftime.
Favorites: LaGrange and Cartersville
Sleeper: North Hall
PP-DGTW: 2nd round- LaGrange vs. Peach Co.

AA:

1. Charlton County (10-0)
2. Buford (10-0)
3. Dublin (10-0)
4. Fitzgerald (10-0)
5. Calhoun (9-1)
6. GAC (9-1)
7. Washington-Wilkes (9-1)
8. Heard County (10-0)
9. Pepperell (9-1)
10. Greene County (8-2)

- Either #2 Buford or #1 Charlton Co. will not make it to the dome because both are in the same quarter of the brackett. Obsurd.
-Dublin tries to avenge its 2nd round exit from last years state playoffs when they were ranked #1 in the state. This year they are # 3.
Favorites: Charlton Co. and Dublin
Sleeper: Jefferson Co.
PP-DGTW: Quarterfinals- Charlton Co. vs. Buford

A:

-Doesn't count.
