Running behind this week; let's just say four-day work weeks don't hold the same charm in this industry as they might in yours.
Let's get right to the rankings.
Official AP results here. My votes are below.

Class A
Rank, team, previous
1. Wilcox County (1)
2. Wesleyan (2)
3. Savannah Christian (3)
4. Charlton County (4)
5. Clinch County (5)
6. Johnson County (6)
7. Lincoln County (8)
8. Eagle's Landing Christian (9)
9. Holy Innocents' (10)
10. Aquinas (-)
Keep an eye on: George Walton. The defending GISA Class AAA state champ has only played one game since stepping up to GHSA. They won, but the schedule's a smooth one for the first month. We won't get a true glimpse of where the Bulldogs stand until they meet Athens Academy. The winner of that game will be in position to battle Commerce for the top spot in 8-A. The Tigers are 0-2, but they've been "good losses," if there are such a thing - Jefferson 17-14; Franklin County 31-28.
Class AA
1. Carver-Columbus (1)
2. Buford (2)
3. Calhoun (3)
4. Callaway (4)
5. Cook (5)
6. Jefferson County (6)
7. Fitzgerald (8)
8. Dublin (9)
9. Thomasville (10)
10. Westminster (6)
Keep an eye on: Region 8-AA. The whole thing is a mess. For top 10 purposes, only the South subregion is worth mentioning at this juncture, and it's nigh impossible to decipher anything of meaning from the first two weeks. Jefferson, Hart County, Elbert County, East Jackson and North Oconee are all potential region champs and therefore worthy of low-end consideration here. But more dust will have to settle before we can see anything clearly.
Class AAA
1. Sandy Creek (1)
2. Peach County (2)
3. Westside-Macon (3)
4. Cairo (4)
5. Baldwin (6)
6. Carrollton (8)
7. Worth County (9)
8. North Hall (10)
9. Cartersville (-)
10. St. Pius X (-)
Keep an eye on: Washington County vs. Thomson. I dropped WaCo out after a tie and a loss in the first two weeks, but their opponents -- Jefferson County and Statesboro -- are exceeding preseason expectations. Thomson is 2-0 with a pair of quality wins. Their meeting Friday should be a measuring stick for both.
Class AAAA
1. Northside-Warner Robins (1)
2. Griffin (2)
3. Clarke Central (3)
4. Tucker (4)
5. Thomas County Central (5)
6. Kell (6)
7. Hiram (9)
8. Marist (7)
9. Apalachee (10)
10. Flowery Branch (-)
Keep an eye on: North Clayton. Won first two games by a total of 70-0. Even against weak competition, that's solid.
Class AAAAA
1. Camden County (1)
2. North Gwinnett (4)
3. Stephenson (3)
4. Newnan (5)
5. Peachtree Ridge (6)
6. Valdosta (7)
7. Woodstock (9)
8. McEachern (10)
9. Lowndes (2)
10. Brookwood (-)
Keep an eye on: Grayson. That 13-10 loss to Kell in Week 1 may not be such a big deal after all. The Class AAAA Longhorns have knocked off teams in my Class AAAAA top 10 two weeks in a row and could make it a trifecta this week against Woodstock.
