Tennessee high school football computer rankings (10/7/2024)
Week 7 of the 2024 Tennessee high school football season is in the books, and High School on SI has published its third computer rankings of the season in the state.
A quick look at the Class 6A computer rankings shows a new No. 1 team in the state, the Oakland Patriots, who remained undefeated last Friday. Right behind them in the No. 2 spot are the Ravenwood Raptors, who are coming off a 45-point victory against the Summit Spartans.
The Class 5A computer rankings also have a new No. 1 team with Sevier County taking over the top spot. A one-loss Powell team comes in at No. 2.
SBLive’s formula was created using its linear algebra-based ranking algorithm inspired by the Colley Bias-Free Ranking Method. Colley’s Method was created by Wes Colley, Ph.D., an astrophysicist at the University of Alabama at Huntsville. He devised his algorithm to help address the subjectivity and controversy regarding BCS college football selections in the 1990s and early 2000s, using a method that used no subjective variables.

Some people in the path of Hurricane Milton head to the middle Tennessee for safety
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Some Tennesseans stuck in the mix of Hurricane Milton evacuations break down what they have been experiencing as the storm approaches.
Some Floridians recently moved from Tennessee to areas directly in the path of Hurricane Milton and said they’re either hunkering down and staying in Florida or hitting the road and heading back to Tennessee.
Rain falling in Florida on Monday afternoon was the start of what former Tennessee resident Erich Gentry said could be his worst nightmare come to life.
“It has ramped up so fast,” Gentry said. “I knew I needed to keep an eye on it after last week’s storm. We’re just so over-saturated and trees are already trying to work themselves down.”
Gentry moved from Nashville to St. Augustine two years ago and said watching Hurricane Milton intensify was unlike anything he’d ever heard or seen before.
When asked about his evacuation plan, Gentry said, “I kind of drug my feet just a little bit, and within a matter of hours it strengthened to a category 5, even the gas station that’s just up the street from me is already out of fuel and people are going crazy.”
But crowds at gas pumps weren’t unique to St. Augustine, Jessica Beard who moved from Columbia, Tennessee to Fort Myers, Florida said she also saw busy gas stations when she and her family were headed north Monday morning.
Beard said they loaded up their car and started driving to Columbia, Tennessee at 7 a.m.
“We hit traffic coming out of Fort Myers around Sarasota,” Beard said. “It was stop and go all the way through Ocala.”
Beard said she and her family were following the progression of the storm for days. As soon as the meteorologist announced that Hurricane Milton upgraded from a category 3 storm to a category 4 and then a category 5 storm by Monday morning, Beard and her family started to panic. Beard said people started posting reports online of store shelves emptying and generators selling out.
“We’re not in the mandatory evacuation zone but, it’s just a few streets over that are, so we left, better safe than sorry,” Beard said.
Gentry said when he decided to leave, traffic was just too bad. He was worried he’d possibly run out of gas and not be able to find a station that wasn’t also out of gas.
“Unfortunately, anything heading north is pretty much already backed up,” Gentry said. “People are evacuating with their cars and things, so it seems like I may have missed the boat unfortunately.”
To prepare for the storm, Gentry said he was loading up his home with sandbags, food, and water.
“At this point, I think it’s just time to batten down the hatches and try to pray and hope for the best for myself and everyone around us,” Gentry said.

Tennessee Becoming Early Contender For Top 2027 Quarterback
Tennessee has done an excellent job recruiting quarterbacks since Josh Heupel made it to campus. Heupel has landed four quarterbacks including Nico Iamaleava, Jake Merklinger, George MacIntyre, and Faizon Brandon. It’s safe to say they locate their targets early on and have done just that in the 2027 class.
Trae Taylor is a Lake In The Hills, Illinois prospect who attends Carmel Catholic High School. Taylor is a four-star target who recently received his Tennessee offer and offers from 20+ schools as a current sophomore in high school. Many anticipate him to be a five-star.
He caught up with Tennessee on SI following his offer.
“It is a special offer to me. Tennessee was one of the first schools my dad took me to when I was younger. This helped me to dream about playing in front of over 100k fans one day,” the 2027 QB states. “It was Coach Halzle and Coach Militello who offered me. They just said they watched my film and loved it. They think I’d be a great fit for them with the things I do. (Which I do agree with). Tennessee, once they started recruiting me has been very consistent,” Taylor stated.
He will visit Rocky Top sooner than later and is working on finding a date soon. “I’m most definitely going to visit. We are trying to figure out a good date to make this happen. But I’m definitely getting down there this season.” Tennessee is already making noise being listed in Taylor’s early edition of a top 10 that has not been finalized. “Tennessee right now is in my top 10. As a QB who wouldn’t want to play in an offense where you know they throw it around? Play in an amazing stadium, and home of Peyton Manning. The fan base has already shown a ton of love on social media. I have already seen the facilities multiple times so I know what that is.”
Moving forward the prospect hopes to connect well with this staff. “I want to see if we connect and if they can develop me to be a 1st round draft pick. Now that I have the offer I’ll make sure to reach out to Joe Milton and get his feedback on things.”
“My biggest message is if this is the school I pick, just know I give my all to be great. That will not change at Tennessee. So keep showing that Tennessee love and I’ll see you soon.”
He also had a story to share about Coach Joey Halzle.
“Just know the first time Coach Halzle saw me throw I was in 6th or 7th grade and I had a great conversation with him and the rest of the staff. Been a long time coming. Coach still has not followed me on Twitter like he said years ago,” Taylor said jokingly…”But this offer makes up for that.”
