Welcome to the third edition of the new FloridaHSFootball.com Sports Media Weekly Football Poll for the 2024 season, which is coordinated by FloridaHSFootball.com and voted on by high school sports writers and broadcasters from around the state each week. The goal is to replicate in some for a media-style ranking each week for all eight FHSAA classifications, plus all leagues in the SSAA as done in the style previously by the now-defunct Florida Sports Writers Association and the Associated Press.

Here are the rankings following Week 2 action.
