A showdown between the No. 2 and No. 3 teams in the Tennessee Super 25 high school football rankings highlights this week's poll. Second-ranked Baylor hosts third-ranked Lipscomb Academy in the top game in Tennessee for TSSAA Week 4.

However, this showdown lost some of its hype on Tuesday with the departure of Deuce Knight, a four-star quarterback at Lipscomb Academy who left the program and is returning home to Mississippi.
