Ultimately, I don't think it will change to much how a team schedules. I think after district games, teams play local rivals (in county, just over county line) and in big metro areas that fills the schedule. You will not see for example Lakeland playing Miami Northwestern in Miami. You won't see average Hillsborough County team playing average Orange County team. As a result, I don't think the playoff points or the RPI will really change too much of our scheduling because there are so many other factors that go into scheduling. When the SEC basketball conference got only like 2-3 bid to March Madness one year, the SEC told it's teams to start scheduling tougher. And they did, but high schools can't replicate this exactly as we don't have the same budget as a college basketball program.

Again, same thing I said about the playoff system in terms of points. They suggest something without putting out the numbers. In defense of the FHSAA, an RPI system is A LOT of work for a sample size so I understand why they might not want to do it if it were to get voted down. In case anybody is curious on how RPI works, here ya go. I get it, but it would be an absolute nightmare to try and do on a weekly basis with consistent accuracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rating_percentage_index

Be careful you are starting to sound like me and my rants about returning to district champions and runner-ups. But if we are going to keep the current system, all they needed to do was spread points out more for victories and losses. No longer are playoff Tier 1 teams gaining less points than a victory over a Tier 4's loss. Big wins count more. Tier 1 Victory: 70 points Tier 2 Victory: 55 points Tier 3 Victory: 45 points Tier 4 Victory: 40 points Tier 1 Loss: 35 points Tier 2 Loss: 30 points Tier 3 Loss: 20 points Tier 4 Loss: 5 points Again the question comes down to when deciding who makes the playoff, is the goal to give every team that has a chance a spot (even if this allows teams that have no chance in) or only teams that have a chance to win (but leaves 1 or 2 teams that have a chance out)?

Does anybody else think the new RPI will be a huge mess and almost impossible to actually check and monitor. Right now, if you just want to check your team's "playoff points," you have to figure out the record of the team in your team's region, who the wins were against, and what were the records of the teams they beat. Honestly, doing one region takes me on about 30-45 minutes once all the games are complete. In the one region that I followed, I had to look at 99 teams each week. Under the new system, I would have to look at not just my team, but my opponent's and my opponent's opponent. We are talking easily 600+ schools each week. No thanks.

Story

Breon Allen for Warner Christian

I don't know how much of this is kid leaves rural area and moves to urban area to be on a good football team. I think this is just a result of some general bias that allows "Big Name" teams to be more in the news (both TV and newspaper), Closer connections to many of the combine and other scouting tryouts that are available. I also think that a true rural school will go through ups and downs in talent as they aren't having that influx of talent every year. Urban schools, do the general nature of only having to move 4 city blocks could easily end up at the "right" school.

Andre Reese for Pierson Taylor?

Joey Boss has essentially done that, but most rising sophomores aren't ready to be compared to juniors and seniors. Physical characteristics aren't enough, need game film for NFL.

Honestly, at first I was against players like Fournette or McCaffrey from sitting out, but the more I thought about it, the more it makes sense. These aren't 7th rounders. These are guys where dropping 10 picks can cost a million dollars. injuries might be part of the game but, I need to do everything to protect my career.

Not worth the time or energy. Expectations are way too high by students, parents, and community members. Every kid is a D1 athlete and every team is state championship caliber according to many.

Of course now you have to remove the 200+ non-football playing teams.
