Toombs County may have had the biggest upset of the young season with a 33-29 win over Class 5A’s Rome last week. That was enough to lift the Bulldogs into the top spot of our 2024 Georgia high school football rankings for Class 1A-Division I for the first time this season.
Toombs County takes over the No. 1 ranking from another Bulldogs program, as Thomasville acquired their first loss of the season to crosstown rival Thomas County Central 48-10.
Northeast and Rabun County, who were ranked in our preseason poll before falling out, find their way back into the Top 10. They replace Worth County and Swainsboro, who both lost last week.

Thomasville remains the No. 1 team in our updated 2024 Georgia high school football rankings for Class 1A-Division I after surviving a scare from Highway 84 rival Cairo last week. Their game was tied 28-28 before the Bulldogs pulled out a late victory.
That sets up a showdown with yet another battle of neighbors as Thomas County Central visits Thomasville this week. This Rose City rivalry will be our ITG Next Game of the Week.
The rest of our Top 10 teams won their Week 3 games and retain their positions from last week’s rankings.

It was a wild season-opening week as five of our top-ranked teams across all classifications lost their first game, but don’t think this will be the only time that happens. This could be one of those seasons that sees a different No. 1 each week. Here’s a look at our updated Top 10 team rankings for Class 1A-Division I after Week 1 of the 2024 Georgia high school football season.
The Thomasville Bulldogs of head coach Johnathan DeLay slide into this week’s top spot following last week’s impressive win over Brooks County and the losses of last week’s two top-ranked teams. Swainsboro and Commerce, who were previously ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, each lost by 20 points, opening the door for the Bulldogs.
Lamar County debuts at No. 9, and Fitzgerald remains ranked despite their loss to rival Irwin County.

Preseason – Updated 8/12/2024
The 2024 Georgia high school football season is finally here, and you will notice that ITG Next’s weekly rankings have a new look. This year we will rank the Top 10 teams in each classification with a total of eight rankings. This includes a separate Top 10 ranking of the “private only” teams in Class 1A-DI, Class 2A, and Class 3A. Here is a look at our updated 2024 Georgia high school football preseason rankings for Class 1A-Division I in the new format.
Worth County returns nine starters on offense this season, including quarterback Lyndon Worthy and receiver D’ontae Fulton. With all four starting linebackers back on defense, the Rams could be moving up the ranks pretty quickly from their No. 5 spot.
The Swainsboro Tigers start off as our top team. They’ve been knocking on the door of a state title with two appearances in the championship game over the last three seasons, including last year’s loss against Prince Avenue Christian.
- Swainsboro

- Thomasville (+2)
- Toombs County (+6)
