Florida potential plans

most FL championships are something like a top 50 team playing a fringe top 1,000 team 

This is still not true even though you repeat it every year.

From this past year.

3A

#68 Chaminade-Madonna vs. #117 Oxbridge Academy

4A

#103 Raines vs. #110 Cocoa

5A

#6 American Heritage vs. #243 Baker County

6A

#27 Northwestern vs. #44 Armwood

7A

#28 Venice vs. #118 Bartram Trail

8A

#69 Dr. Phillips vs. #262 Atlantic

 

So Pop just keeps lying about this every year.

DLS has played a top 10 team in championship game every year since ‘07 — most of those years DLS was also top 10

Also, this (irrelevant) point does nothing to prove that this format is more fair or produces better matchups.

For instance, in the last two years those "also top 10" DLS teams got stomped in the bowl game.

American Heritage played little-known #299 Ponte Vedra in 2016 and people thought it was a snoozer and a mismatch. Turns out it was a great game that AHP won, 35-33.

don’t know how you can use “better matchups” as part of your rationale 

Because I've actually spent more than two seconds thinking about it (unlike you).

If you break the 6 divisions down by the best 70, then the next best 70 and so on, these are what the hypothetical championship games could look like:

D1

#6 American Heritage vs. #27 Northwestern

D2

#903 Mitchell vs. #920 Monsignor Pace

D3

#1892 Fletcher vs. #1904 Calvary Christian

D4

#3178 Frostproof vs. #3191 Port St. Joe

 

And so on.

Pop, who hasn't taken two seconds to think about this, seriously thinks that the current matchups are worse than this hypothetical monstrosity.

dont understand why you’re advicating to keep those teams isolated from one another in playoffs 

Because it's not just about the rich. It's about the poor, too.

And, again, I've actually thought about it and know what I'm talking about.

You, as usual, don't know shit from shinola about this.

Because you spoke about bad matchups in championship games when literally no one comes remotely close to having as good of matchups as CA  

No, I said that the California system guarantees that the best teams don't make it to the bowl games. Which is true and something that you can't refute.

Again, you just lie constantly about California's playoff system and every other one as well.

whatever else you wanna say about CA brackets, the matchups are vastly Superior to MNC team playing #1,000 Bolles in championship 

Again, another lie that you've repeated over and over again.

Bolles was not #1000 and they were the 8th best opponent that BTW played that season. They beat two better teams than Bolles in the previous two rounds.

This is typical Pop claptrap where he thinks that only the last opponent counts.

Those are 2 of the biggest crybabies in the entire state, Baker County act like a big shot when they beat minnows but second a shark tears them apart they whine like babies about it 

They are crybabies but they'd have a legitimate beef in this format.

A rural public school with 530 students being forced into a division with big urban publics and big urban privates?

This is one of the dumbest ideas that anyone has ever tried to advance so no wonder that Pop is enthusiastically in favor of it.

Haaa, Cocoa has 3 of the hypothetical teams in D1/Regional3 scheduled for this season. Maybe they know something that we do not. Wonder how they will fare this year after losing Wilks? Word is they are taking top transfers from other schools in the area and stacking the team for another run at state.

There is one open spot to schedule another game as they have 9 already. No OOS games again this year??? Hummm....

D. White, A. Petruzello, C. Holmes and W. Gaines are going to be fun to watch this year with hopefully a few more surprises to come.

Pops only likes to look at the final opponent's ranking because DLS rarely plays another Top CA team until the final game of the season.

He must expect the same from every other state apparently.

Every time Pops comments on Florida playoffs I'll always remember that DLS won the self proclaimed toughest bracket in America the same years their skirt was lifted by a Florida teams who didn't even win their own watered down garbage playoff. 

That should be in the Ripley's believe it or not museum

Neat deflection, er, story 

I think most people would prefer 2 national top 10 teams than all your top teams aplit up to hopefully have an entertaining game 

You can’t even believe what you’re saying here

Actually it was twice at band camp. 

Also how does National number 5 SJB get stifled by the 11th ranked FL team but manage to make the state semi finals in the toughest bracket in the country? 

The same position STA made in the watered down playoff. Both teams couldn't make the finals in their respective playoff path. 

So it seems that SJB wouldn't even have made the semis in FL 7A but they can make it to the semis in the best bracket????

3 times at band camp

I have never ever once said only last game counts but when you are vying for an MNC, you should not be playing a team outside top 1,000 for your “championship” game

especially from a power state where there’s plenty of good teams 

y’all can get mad but it seems what y’all prefer 

not rather you continue to delude yourselves

STA is the poster child for a team that regresses during the season but is very good at hosting CA teams in Aug

they lose when they travel west also

Not a deflection at all.

You lie about the matchups and then you try to claim that, well, the games themselves were better or more competitive so that makes the crappy system OK.

So I just pointed out your lies and refuted your claim that the games are better and/or more competitive.

So you compound your lie by piling on more irrelevant claims.

It doesn't matter what your personal preferences are. The state association should not be making decisions based on perceived entertainment value or what message board fanboys might prefer.

That's about the extent of your argument.

You have nothing else to say.

Redefining the criteria 

weren’t we talking about best matchups not getting two mediocre teams (or teams you’d call garbage) that are evenly matched

I’m not arguing that point

You must be right 

CA just almost always has the highest ranked championship matchups among all the human and computer polls to satisfy us fanboys 

while FL is a pure playoffs where each of your top 5 teams get their own bracket

What sense does this make?

First you just lied, again, about Bolles being outside the top 1000. It's getting tiresome dealing with such a dishonest person.

Also, it's completely random when a team is played in the playoffs. BTW played two better teams in the previous two rounds. It just so happened that they had two better opponents who were closer geographically to them.

What kind of loon claims that a team vying for a championship would somehow have control over who they played in the playoffs?

But you have consistently insinuated it based on your arguments.

Stop being dishonest for one second, please.

Never, ever even insinuated it 

I do believe that championship games in December are MORE important than week zero games 

I also believe human pollsters effectively value the August games more because of the static nature of their polling 

pick that apart if you’d like
