They are the Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the Tribune's preseason poll, the Nos. 1 and 3 teams in the Class 4A state rankings.

What a way to kick off the season.

Armwood, with four players ranked by Rivals.com among the state's top 100 seniors, including premier pass rusher Ryne Giddins (15th), right, appears poised to bring a third state title in six seasons back to Seffner.

Plant, with Georgia-commitment Aaron Murray, left, under center, is gunning for a second state crown in three years.

The Hawks, the 4A state champions in 2003 and '04, will be making their second appearance on ESPNU in three years.

The Panthers, the 4A state champions in 2006, went 11-2 in defense of their title last season, both losses coming to the Hawks.

Armwood-Plant.

A rivalry so intense it gets a national television audience.

The game at Plant is set to air on ESPNU at 8 p.m. Sept 5.
