(Rank, Previous, School, Record, Classification)

1. (1) Bartram Trail, (0-0), Class 8A

Last week: Off.

This week: at Creekside (0-0)

Glance: The Bears made their move to No. 1 in the Super 10 on Oct. 15, 2019 and have been anchored there ever since. Showdown against rival Creekside should be a good one to open the season.

2. (2) Bolles, (0-0), Class 4A

Last week: Off.

This week: at Trinity Christian (0-0),

Glance: The Bulldogs looked very good in a scrimmage last week against Bishop Kenny. Things ramp up immediately for Bolles in its season opener in arguably one of the most anticipated games of the season, a showdown against No. 3 Trinity Christian.

3. (3) Trinity Christian (0-0), Class 3A

Last week: Off.

This week: vs. Bolles (0-0), 7:30 p.m.

Glance: Defense led the way in a kickoff classic last week at Gainesville Buchholz. The last time that Trinity faced Bolles was against a different coaching staff in the 2018 playoffs. In another season filled with formidable competition, this is a stiff test right out of the gate for Trinity.

4. (4) Oakleaf, (0-0), Class 8A

Last week: Off.

This week: at Gainesville Buchholz (0-0)

Glance: The Knights have seven straight weeks of challenging games on the schedule before closing with a pair of one-win teams from 2019. Buchholz has typically been a tough game for area teams, and this is the first live action for Oakleaf before a showdown at Georgia power Lowndes next week.

5. (5) Fleming Island (0-0), Class 7A

Last week: Off.

This week: vs. Palatka (0-1), 7:30 p.m.

Glance: The Golden Eagles will push Oakleaf for Clay County bragging rights this year (they face off on Oct. 9) and this will get things rolling before a trip to the beach next week to try and slow down Fletcher and RB Myles Montgomery. Fleming has offensive experience, with RB Timmy Thomas (1,035 rushing yards, 5 TDs) powering a deep backfield.

6. (6) Lee (0-0), Class 6A

Last week: Off.

This week: Off.

Glance: The Generals open the season with a week off before getting a pair of tough Gateway Conference teams back-to-back (Ribault and at Mandarin).

7. (7) Columbia (0-0), Class 6A

Last week: Off.

This week: Off.

Glance: The Tigers are off until the end of the month when they visit No. 3 Trinity Christian.

8. (8) Mandarin (0-0), Class 8A

Last week: Off.

This week: at Atlantic Coast (0-0), 6 p.m.

Glance: The Mustangs face what should be a much-better Atlantic Coast squad before tough games against No. 1 Bartram Trail and No. 6 Lee in a challenging opening month.

9. (9) University Christian (0-0), Class 2A

Last week: Off.

This week: at Clay (0-0), 7 p.m.

Glance: State championship expectations again for the Christians, who should be challenged by the larger school Blue Devils this week. But the next month of competition will reveal more about UC than this week does. UC has Bradford and Oakleaf up next.

10. (10) St. Augustine (0-0), Class 6A

Last week: Off.

This week: at Middleburg (0-0), 7 p.m.

Glance: The most forgiving game until mid-October for the Yellow Jackets, who face Bolles, Bartram Trail, rival Menendez and Class 8A Flagler Palm Coast after this.

On the bubble: Baker County (1-0, Class 5A); Baldwin (0-0, Class 1A); Bradford (0-1, Class 4A); Creekside (0-0, Class 7A); Flagler Palm Coast (0-0, Class 8A); Fletcher (0-0, Class 7A); Parker (0-0, Class 5A); Ponte Vedra (0-0, Class 6A); Raines (0-0, Class 5A); Sandalwood (0-0, Class 8A); Westside (0-0, Class 5A); West Nassau (1-0, Class 4A).
