ngdawg Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 @Columbiafan Here's my Georgia Top 20. Not as much accuracy as yours though. I was interested to see Armwood being a little low, especially being an annual state semifinalist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngdawg Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Also, you have Osceola over Cocoa and BTW. Interesting. I expected to see Wekiva on there, but I guess they're not as good as they were a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW was at 10 but I dropped them after they lost a significant player to IMG earlier today which made the second major loss to IMG this off-season joining their 5* receiver who left Cocoa definitely rose up the Rankings but with Osceola I have heard good things from my sources in central FL, could be a hit and miss team that I chose to gamble on Wekiva is seemingly a long way from recapturing what they had when they beat North Gwinnett a few years back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those GA rankings look pretty good I'm not a expert on GA though and I would probably have a slightly different order on a few of those but off a quick glance those teams look like the right ones I don't know GA classification off the top of my head but is that only 7a there because I'm surprised to not see Valdosta in top 20 if that was an all classification top 20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbiafan Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Armwood is solid team, I just haven't heard anything about them that grabbed my attention like some past Armwood teams but they will likely be a team that rise into top 10 over course of the season (if Covid allows a season that is) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty loaded 5* CB who just committed to UF and 4* safety that committed to UF 5* DT committed to Miami That defense is stacked and has a case for best Defense in Dade county Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakleaf's OOS schedule could be a little tough on them this year, as they play Camden County and Lowndes from Georgia. Carol City seems a little low. They didn't have a great record last year, but their schedule was pretty hard. I guess that could potentially catapult them into the top 25 at least. I know these are preseason rankings, but I could potentially see Carol City being decent next year (top 25 in the state). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol City could rise over the year but I have doubts with them for the moment Oakleaf picked up several significant transfers and have an argubly top 10 FL QB in the 2021 class which has caused several solid players locally to transfer there I see them or Bartram Trail as 8a North favorites which is why they are so close together 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know these are preseason rankings, but I could potentially see Carol City being decent next year (top 25 in the state). Oakleaf picked up 2 significant transfers from Jacksonville Lee as well (3* S Larry Smith who is a Indiana commit in the 2021 class as well as Devin Smith who is a LB in the 2022 class) Also got a solid RB I had pleasure (or mispleasure considering he had a good game against my team last year) who is in the 2023 class I was really impressed with Oakleaf last year and they should be better this year with the transfers they picked up Them and Bartram are by far the best teams in North Florida heading into the season from everyone I've spoken to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are on par and capable of beating each other and both are loaded on paper I ranked Central higher because I have a higher level of confidence in them winning 6a, anytime I deal with 2 teams that aren't that far separated in talent (like Central and MNW) I usually look at who has the higher probability of winning state and because Central has a easier road in 6a (because of how thin 6a is at the top) I gave them the nod over Northwestern who has a tougher road to repeating as Champions Yes I know MNW has had Central number lately but I look at more than one single data point like that because those series could easily flip at any time especially in a highly combative transfer climate like we see in Florida 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree @ngdawg only way to get better at something is branch out and take your lumps and learn more My initial rankings in 2015 obviously lacked a bit in some areas but I feel like they have improved each year but it takes time to learn this stuff but it does make you more versatile in long run to be able do more and branch into other areas I've also learned it's good to get sources from areas you aren't as familiar with and take advice where you can get it and develop a system that makes the rankings mesh with your visual eye on things I don't try to rank and match other people in FL who also do Rankings, I try to make mine mesh with my philosophy and for better or worse I try my best to stand by it's principle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stuck to 7A mainly because that was the class North Gwinnett competes in. And for my band, I'm the guy that provides all the 7A news. So naturally, I only stuck to 7A. I don't have any problem diversifying to other classifications. If you want, I could go ahead and give you my top 20 for all classifications! I just haven't focused as much on other classes in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also thinking about making an Instagram page for high school football in Georgia and a website for Georgia football scores and predictions, but I fear I'm not that advanced yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby steps my friend A Instagram page may be a good start point but probably wait on a website until you have some built up viewer base 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
