Nolebull813 Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 The Florida and Georgia champions should play against each other. These would be my matchups based on who I think is gonna win it all STA vs 7A champion Chaminade vs 6A champion Venice vs 5A champion Norland vs 4A champion Cocoa vs 3A champion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it and probably easier to finalize than a FL open state title format. Switch state venues annually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams that should be winning aren't.... Walton vs STA might be good though But the only 6A team I trust to even stay in the field with Chaminade are Thomasville Central and Douglas County... DC has been quietly taking down some big shots in 6A.... 5A may be a little more balanced... Coffee,Cartersville and Creekside are all looking like the teams they should have been last year. 4A Benedictine is probably more disciplined and hard nosed than Norland for sure but depth will probably play a factor in this one ... 3A... Is looking like our 3A state champ is gonna be a mistake either way... CG is not all that this year... Sandy Creek got complacent and got beat by a team that had no business making this deep a run...

Florida would always have an advantage because our brackets are so watered down. Georgia has most of their top teams in 7A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that would make all the other brackets meaningless like California Similar to Zona, but largest classes only like in Zona don’t apply in FL (Chaminade Madonna example). Would have to be adjusted in FL without class size mattering or use a CalPreps type rating service like for playoffs and/or throw in perhaps a group of sportswriters throughout FL to vote. A Saguaro vs Red Mountain 6A final would be the scenario type game for non top 8 in FL having a playoff draw. Perhaps a Venice or Lakeland type school takes this type of format route like a Saguaro in 2023 as a unicorn open FL state playoff title bracket and other playoffs bracket draws with less clout below the Open division marquee state playoffs draw.

To see who is the best That is true but most of our top teams all play in the regular season. They aren’t afraid to play like most of Cali is against SJB and MD. These teams are turning into Bishop Gorman in regards to no one in state wanting to play them. Norland, Miami Central, American Heritage and Cardinal Gibbons are all in the same playoff bracket. So we got at least one good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see who is the best There’s very little mystery in Florida. You need a round robin tournament between Saint Thomas, Chaminade Madonna, IMG, and a play in game between Norland and cocoa. That would take care of it. If they go to an open class, those teams may be playing each other anyway in a playoff except for IMG. This is probably what would be best for the state. Have regular high school football playoffs and then the recruited super teams in the open bracket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 I’m not opposed to an open bracket but how do you decide the teams eligible? Why would you be apart of some crappy district only to move on to a completely different bracket than the class you are in? Calpreps and pencil neck sports writers have already been proven time and time again to be incompetent. How exactly does California and Arizona determine eligible open participants?

As I tried to explain above in thread, Zona uses ONLY top classes to determine Open 8, which wouldn’t work for FL (Chaminade Madonna). Funny though the 10x 9x 8 x mentions remind me of my 10-15 min power rating formula creation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Why does everything have to be forever? It could have just ran its course.

Some people are never happy and just want to bitch about something If the Ratings were there it would have stuck around…. The reality is that the majority of sports fans don’t care at all about HSFB other then the Schools where their kids play….. Even HS Kids don’t care about National games, so no one is watching those games…. Those of us that Follow these boards and watch these games are really a select few…. I would guess that There are maybe 5k to 10k of us in the whole country…. Thats not enough fans to make these events viable….. The National TV interest Started with DLS when they had The Streak and people wanted to see if these OOS teams could break it…. In Nor Cal it’s been like 5 years since we had any games on TV other then the SBG’s….. So Cal has slowed on the games as well…. There is just not the Appetite for HSFB on TV, No one really cares that much…. But I am sure that in states like TX and GA the regional ratings for HSFB do ok…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very likely that football will be back in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
