I find it funny that all the people on here bash the RPI (or any scoring system), when 4-5 years ago, everybody raved about how great this would be football. No more blowouts, only good teams getting into the playoffs, better state championships. Every game would count rather than only some of the games in determining who made the playoffs. We would get better in-season games. I prefered the district/runner-up system because of the simplicity. My main concern as I have suggested for long periods of time is that school population is too limited in determining classifications. Classifications should be based on previous levels of success (or lack there of). The complaints of unequal competitiveness in districts become lessened when every team has been on the same level. Move good teams up a classifications and bad teams down a classification. Re-classify every 2 years based on a 4 year rolling average for football (every other team sport should re-classify every year). Districts become more competitive, which allows less complaining.

Blountstown coach thinks 1A is the toughest class in Florida.

Just say Baker gets the #1 seed and Pahokee gets the #4 seed. That looks very crazy to have a team like Pahokee to travel to Baker when they should travel to Union County and Mad Co. goes to Baker. The logistics for the school would be very stupid of the FHSAA to put that burden on a school like Pahokee.

Most of the time, that will be a foul.

However, it is NOT wishful thinking that you may attain my autograph one day. I know how important that is to you, and I will try to follow through.

Good Head Coaches always know how to exploit the rules to their team's advantage. Most schools have about 25 assistant "coaches" who seemingly do nothing more than act as team cheerleaders during the game. One of these "coaches" could be given the task of learning the NFHS rules verbatim, so the Head Coach can have the tools needed to make the rules work for his team.

Cocoa has a lot of respect for Pahokee. Never count them an easy team to play no matter the classification. They may lose to much bigger teams but it is always a decent game. justsayin...

My son plays DE, so naturally I watch the line of scrimmage play most often. Holding happens a lot more than it is actually flagged (no surprise). Most refs will not call it unless it is at the point of attack usually. My son used to get mad about it, but he has learned that it is what it is and just play through it. He had a guy pretty much get him in a head lock while chasing the qb right in front of the white hat. He asks the white hat if he saw that after the play was over, he responded "just play football".
