SJB/STA, Dematha/BG, and IMG/Chandler are high caliber 

Wayne/PR is a good one 

the other 3 are crap. Who cares about the 3rd or 4th best team from Oklahoma? And Saraland vs Heard County is atrocious for a nationally televised game. 

And the only reason B Trail/Cartersville stinks is because where these teams are in each state. Cartersville is expected to be top 4 in all of Georgia and Bartram Trail isn't even top 4 in JACKSONVILLE. The game stinks.

Saraland vs Heard Co does suck. Heard is a Top 5 2A school but that doesnt translate to a great team. I guarantee Heard Co. is only on TV bc of Emory Jones. 

BTrail is at #16 Preseason in FL. Be that actually the case, BTrail vs Cartersville wont be too bad.

What publication are you citing that preseason ranking? Are they a credible ranking service with years of bulls eye accuracy in regards to their preseason rankings?

Not at all... just the only one out. And I dont believe there exists such a site.

But they finished 38th in FL last year... according to a certain publication. They are expected to be betta. Is 16th really out of the realm of possibility.

16th is too high for that team having the defense they have

Bartram Trail hasn't been top 16 in the state in school history. And they gave up 61 points in a playoff game to a raw, unsophisticated offense. And they lost 5 games. They didn't finish top 5 in Jax area. 

So now that they scheduled a top Georgia team they are magically gonna be this awesome team that historians will write about 100 years from now? 

You can't put lipstick on a pig and call it a supermodel

In 2016, they were 8-5 and # 8 in Florida 7A

In 2015, they were 9-4 and #12 in Florida 7A

In 2014, they were 7-4 and #28 in Florida 6A

In 2013 they were 8-6 and # 11 in Florida 6A

In 2012, they were 8-3 and # 33 in Florida 6A

In 2011 they were 12-2 and # 3 in Florida 6A

Outside of 2011, which would make the current kids in elementary school at the time, that's a lot of mediocrity. 

Not in a bad way. I like Bartram Trail. I watched them live in the playoffs one year vs Armwood. They are a good depth team. 

But they aren't playing some 5 loss GA team ranked 15-30 in the state. They are playing a 30-0 two time state champ with an explosive offense and a stud transfer to make it even more explosive. B Trail has a Swiss cheese defense. This game stinks ?

My question is how bad is FL 7A? 

Not too bad on a state level. STA has 30 plus D1's and they are playing neighborhood public teams. Kinda hard to compete like that. 

After STA, no one is on a nationally ranked level. But a lot of very good teams that are 2nd and 3rd tier. Lakeland, Plant, Venice, Braden River, Columbia,  and Dwyer are good depth teams. 

These teams are like Tift, Ware, Kell, Coffee, Sandy Creek etc. So if they are playing Grayson, Colquitt, Roswell of course they will look bad.
