Five area teams made the final regular season rankings of 2014 in the Georgia Sports Writers Association Prep Football Poll, released on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
North Gwinnett, Lanier, Buford, Jefferson and Union County each made their respective classification's top 10s, while Mill Creek, West Hall, Rabun County and Commerce each received votes. <br />
<br />
Commerce also wrapped the season as the No. 5 team in the Class A Public power rankings index, meaning the Tigers (8-2) should receive a berth in the Class A Public playoffs, which will begin on Nov. 21. (Commerce was not assured of a playoff spot because it did not win the Region 8-A title, but a No. 5 ranking puts the team in good stead for the 16-team bracket.)<br />
<br />
North Gwinnett moved up to fourth in Class AAAAAA after finishing the season as Region 7-AAAAAA champ. The Bulldogs (8-2, 6-1 Region 7-AAAAAA) will play host to Central Gwinnett in the first round of the state playoffs on Friday.<br />
<br />
Lanier held at No. 6 in Class AAAAA after finishing out the regular season 10-0. The Longhorns also went 9-0 in Region 8-AAAAA to clinch their first region crown. Lanier will play host to Sequoyah in the first round of state.<br />
<br />
Buford also closed out a perfect 10-0 campaign and maintained its No. 1 spot in Class AAAA. The Region 8-AAAA champ Wolves will play host to Southeast Whitfield in the first round.<br />
<br />
In Class AAA, Jefferson wrapped a 10-0 regular season by staying fourth place. The Region 8-AAA champ Dragons will play host to Franklin County in the first round.<br />
<br />
Union County also earned a Class AA spot of ninth after finishing 9-1, while Rabun County (8-2), which won the Region 8-AA title just in front of the Panthers received votes. Union County will play host to Model in the first round, the Wildcats will entertain Chattooga.<br />
