Nolebull813 Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 The Florida team is only 3 years old, and didn’t finish in the top 100 teams in Florida last year. They did beat Sulphur LA though. But I wonder why they couldn’t find a better Florida team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZone Posted February 27 Author Report Share Posted February 27 On 2/24/2024 at 10:44 PM, RedZone said: Sam Houston is headed to Atlanta next week to play three games. Sam Houston's normally pretty tough. Louisiana is playing a lot of OOS baseball this year since they changed the rule that you can now get power points for playing OOS teams. It's always been about the power points and playoff positions here. Sam Houston headed to Atlanta 👇 One National Poll has Trinity Christian (Jacksonville, FL) #14 Nationally. I completely overlooked that they were that highly regarded in any poll. That'll be a good test for 5A Sam Houston, La. I don't think Sam Houston is quite as stacked as they normally are, but they're still a hard team to beat and definitely a Top 10 Louisiana team most years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZone Posted February 28 Author Report Share Posted February 28 Breaking down Moeller, OH. Moeller is ranked Top 10 in a lot of the polls, but won't play their first game until the middle of next month. Lots of teams will have played close to 10 to 15 games by then.

If I was going to do a football poll I would build it similar to a lot of these baseball sites, but I just don't have the time or resources. I tried one year to go very in-depth.

I tried one year to go very in-depth. Anyone can scribble a number by a football team and you're proof of that. That's your problem right there. You tried to go in-depth with a poll that has 15,000+ teams to examine. No one person (with another job) has the time to do that properly. And, let's face it, you simply don't have the intellectual chops to do it anyway. The amount of research I spend on mine barely scratches the surface on what is truly required for a poll that gets published. That is why mine is just a fun, opinion-based poll. There are quite a few people on this forum that could put a poll out that would be just as good, if not better, than mine. Just look at who usually ranks in the top 5 of the Pick'em every year. Those posters would appear to have a better grasp of the national feel year in and year out. Low and behold, I happen to be one of them. I have a sneaky suspicion that you would finish in the bottim half...... I would challenge you to put your own poll out this next season, but I know you don't have the intestinal fortitude to do it. Maybe start small and participate in the Pick'em this next season. I dare you. If you fare okay in it maybe, just maybe, people on here might take you a little more seriously, swamp turd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be real, though, beef stew is more akin to your Lousyana jambalaya of teams you represent. Delicious to feast on. Why do you think middle tier Texas teams always play your top teams? They know that they’ll be good appetizers before they play the real teams on their schedules. Hell, Bixby would run roughshod over your swamp turd state.
