In Class 7A, the top 5 did not shift and Carrollton did not slide following its narrow loss to Class 6A No. 1 Hughes. Westlake moved up from No. 8 to No. 6 after its 52-28 win over North Cobb. Norcross and Collins Hill debuted at No. 9 and No. 10 and the teams that exited the poll were Grayson and North Cobb. Collins Hill is the only team that lost and entered the poll after a Week 1 loss.

The Eagles fell 27-13 to No. 3 Milton but showcased a lot of talent on the defensive front and were plagued by six turnovers.  Marist dropped from No. 9 to No. 10 in Class 6A after a competitive loss to No. 2 Gainesville and Class 5A saw Cass fall to No. 10 after its loss to Class 6A No. 6 Rome and Kell fall to No. 9 after its loss to Class 7A No. 8 Parkview
