  1. Lakeland is the reason we have super teams in Florida

    Interesting question.  Would depend on how the FHSAA wanted to interpret their eligibility.  IMG was #1 in the MaxPreps Florida rankings at the end of the regular season, so that technically would have qualified them for the Open 8 as it was proposed. But IMG is listed as "Independent" in this newest reclassification, so the FHSAA could say that you have to compete in the state series to qualify for the Open 8.  So I think the FHSAA could manipulate the rules to exclude or include IMG as they desire. 

    If you have a Open division, wouldn't it be open enrollment also? So 8 super teams make it to play in a brutal playoff. I'd want to watch the games.

    I think an open division is a good idea only if you cut the classes down substantially. Because it would be a mockery of biblical proportions if we took the 8-16 best teams in the state put them in 1 bracket and then had 7-9 more brackets of nothing but the good to average to below average teams. The champions would be atrocious. It would be an embarrassment beyond repair. A stain on the sport. I pray it never comes to that 

    I'm not sure there are 16 teams capable of competing in an open bracket... maybe 5 or 6 teams could give it a good shot and have a chance of winning when STA and Chaminade are hurting from injuries or illnesses. Would the open include IMG?

    IMG, STA, MC, AHP, and Chaminade would be the real contenders. Then you have teams like Lakeland, Venice, Cocoa, BTW, etc... that get hot some seasons that might get through a few rounds but then STA and Chaminade will always be waiting for them in the semi's...

    My system would have looked like this 

    Enrollment 100-500 class 1A

    501-900 class 2A 

    901-1,300 class 3A

    1,301-1,800 class 4A

    1,801 and above class 5A

     

    i don’t have all the enrollments in front of me but those numbers could slightly change based on the amount in each class. I would scale it to be around 100 teams per class 

    And does an all male schools with an enrollment of 450 play in the same class as a school with an enrollment of 450 male and female students? Something like 200 male and 250 female?

    Lake Mary graduates their best receivers. But they have decent youngsters and I would be surprised if a receiver or three does not show up at their doorsteps given who will be throwing to them. 

    It would be sad for Lake Mary to have such a good QB and only 1 or 2 decent receivers to throw to.

    Regardless if anything is fair or not, the fact remains. They did not play in the national championship game even if it wasn’t fair. 
     

    Nebraska lost 62-36 in the Big 12 championship game in 2001 and was still allowed to play in the national title game. Was that fair? Should the number 3 team that year claim part of the title?

    It doesn't matter to me if UCF was NC in 2017...  They were  undefeated in 2017 and finished #6 in the AP poll I believe. That was a good year for the Knights.

    Has there been any further talk since then?

    Not that I know of.

    I need a refresher . . .  does the FHSAA continue to publish a Power Ranking now that the regular season is over and the brackets have been set?   What purpose, if any, would it serve (other than to generate further debate as to the unknown factors that are used to create it)?

    I agree, what would be the point of the FHSAA updating the rankings other than to stir up the message boards.

    There is no greater gift to a program than a coach that cares about his athletes. Not always true when it comes to the administrations toward the coaches. It's tough getting a program turned around. Don't give up. Coach at their rival, J/K... Hopefully if you have to relocate it will be to an area where 3.0 GPA's are normal and athletes are pliable and eager. Good luck on your next coaching job.

    Let me ask you a simple question. Did they play in the National Championship game? yes or no 

    And one more question. How come UCF wasn't invited to play for the National Championship.

    I think we all know the answer... Because the college football gods Didn't think UCF deserved to play for the championship.

    You can't say because UCF would have been smoked by Bama. They, UCF,  were a powerful team on a mission that year.

    Anyway, I doesn't matter. The records say they are Co Champs. End of story.

    Happy for Cocoa and just to be clear, I don't have a dog in the hunt.  But how they did it on the FHSAA site only is clear as mud.  Every other ranking system nationally has CMD ranked higher than Cocoa and yes, on any given day........... Again, not a betting man but my money would be on Chaminade.   So NO, the explanation didn't help me. 

    LOL, I tried. Chaminade is a great team but the FHSAA rankings are numbers and only numbers. Think AI and you might get an Idea of how it works. No heart, just calculations. Plain cold numbers.
