Here are the final Maxwell Ratings. Remember that the ratings place teams and assign ratings in a way that provide the best mathematical explanation of scores of games during the full season. The objective is not to rank the teams where they ”deserve” to be based on their finish in the state playoffs.

@Camden74 – The best teams make it to the playoffs and then win for the next 5 weeks. Both of our teams bowed out before the championship. It pains me but I know my teams wasn’t the best this year no matter how much talent they had. Same is true for your team. Good teams – yes! Great teams – probably. Best – not this year.

That dude-Isn’t your claim to fame that Evander’s foreclosed house is down there in Fayette? Or Big Boi is from there? Hahahahha. Gwinnett County is 8 times larger than Fayette so yea you are a podunk little County with a decent football team. You are barely ranked in one National poll and just because Cee Lo lived down there you think you are special. You aren’t special…Sorry.
I am just busting your balls…I think Sandy Creek had a very good football team, I just can’t agree that they were as good as Norcross this year. Let’s just agree to disagree.
Merry Christmas Dude…Remember, everyone is someone in Tyrone.
