It's almost like the folks from Polk County wanted it that way . . . why else would the FHSAA have switched from "population" to "population density" when determining the 10 counties that would be grouped together in the Metro division? By making this subtle switch, Polk ended up in Suburban instead of Metro, thereby avoiding the south Florida teams in the playoffs.
Or maybe that's just the conspiracy theorist in me.
Actually it would have been Lee County that ended up in metro not Polk
Ironically Lee County had 2 people voting in their favor and Seminole county has zero

Maybe lake city should build a 15,000 seat stadium right off I 75. There’s already a lot of little hotels right there. Add a few more and you’ve got a perfect location for finals
If Columbia ever got turf they could hold the suburban one
After all tiger stadium has more seating than Gene Cox does

They should play the suburban classes in Gainesville. They should play the metro classes in Fort Lauderdale. That makes the most sense
Gainesville doesn't want it and the only stadium in Gainesville they could use would be UF stadium and the finals coincides with the fall graduation so they wouldn't have availability that weekend

Why didn’t the suburban and rural teams play in north Florida and the metro teams play in south Florida?
Chaminade has to drive 9 hours to play a game when half the title games are minutes up the road. And if Columbia qualifies they will have to head 7 hours South instead of up the street to Tally.
what kind of incompetence is having metro championships in a suburban county?
Columbia QB club and coaches both asked the same thing

Was the 3 star a transfer? Or was that the 4 star? I can’t keep up with the recruited up North Florida all star team from Lake City!
Middleburg had 15 or so transfers and Columbia still beat them
We gotta keep up with other cheaters but we still don't go overboard, only 3 transfers on this team

Imagine if Columbo won the title. And they lost to a 1A Rural. Kind of blows up the myth that 1A rural teams are so bad they need their own special little classification
To be fair Columbia was down a 3* WR that game and turned it over 4 times
Game probably goes much different if played now

The football side can be informative and very funny at times. The Off-Topic is depressing, tiring, and enraging.
It can be if you know who actually has credibility and who's just talking out of their ass

I'm surprised you even post on a board who allows a certain liars on there like lowndes punk 96, lying router, ambient Finchi and crying RedCajun to run wild just because they are stuck in their ways and don't respect anyone else to begin with
it's also sad when liars are given immunity just because they won't post on a rival board that's the type of stuff that makes me have no interest whatsoever in posting there

They will need to win out first. While favored, the last thing they should do is look too far ahead. If they focus on the next two games, one game at a time, they will have a shot. At the end of the day, it is not guaranteed as this is a popularity contest, not something settled on the field.
Absolutely
Though Miami Central controls their own destiny
Beat Lakewood and AHP and they will likely have a national championship in at least 1 poll
-
-
With Mater Dei losing to SJB it seems likely that Miami Central could have just put themselves in a position to win not just a state title but a national title this season
Looking over on National HS football the path is open and based on what I've been told at least one national poll next week will have Miami Central #1 nationally

It is the margin of victory factor that is not equated into the formula for the FHSAA. I am telling you all this now. If the margin of victory component was added in you would see how it impacts SOS significantly and the rankings themselves.
But Josh if you like everyone else haven't seen the formula how can you be certain that margin of victory was the only thing changed? The problem is when you have an organization that goes and takes a route that basically removed any transparency and ability to double check the work it's hard for me to blindly trust them
We had math errors on the point system and RPI because the FHSAA put the wrong information down and it was discovered by the schools tracking it as well and getting it corrected
We can't double check this system either which raises another problem about how do we know someone didn't get screwed out of the playoffs because the FHSAA put the wrong info down on a team, there were some very close races for playoff spots and seeding
-
I still think the FHSAA went and lowered the effect of SOS on the formula without telling anyone
After all if nobody but the FHSAA and MaxPreps have access to the formula THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHAT WAS CHANGED FOR CERTAIN

Suggesting we should banish districts once and for all or should coaches put more emphasis on their non-district schedule?
Well the FHSAA rankings exposed that it will favor record SIGNIFICANTLY higher than SOS going forward so it will be harder for good teams to find games
#3 team in 3S was Lake Wales which has the 24th out of 25th highest SOS in the 3S Top 25 (MaxPreps)
And I can guarantee you that if you abolish districts there will be teams who will struggle to fill a schedule
-
Well I'm gonna take the ballsy move anyway
I've seen all the talk Lake Wales and Polk County been doing on Twitter and writing this in as a easy win for Lake Wales so I'm gonna prove just how confident I am in Columbia
Forget the original bet, I will put my Columbiafan moniker on this site on the line on Columbia beating Lake Wales because if I can't beat an overrated and overconfident Highlander team than I don't deserve to post with that name anymore on this site and I will gladly take the moniker with the most posts and likes in Florida HS Football.com history and walk into retirement
Lake Wales thinks they can end Columbia but we aren't some JV team, Columbia has 715 program wins on its back and if they think they will disrespect us and talk about how they gonna walk over Columbia they will learn the hard way what Lincoln, Escambia and Choctawhatchee have already learned this postseason

Don't remember seeing this, but please refresh my fading memory. Adjusting enrollment numbers
a little may be in order :
4M vs 4S
3M vs 3S
2M vs 2S
1M vs 1S
All eight teams above are "Champions" either Metro or Suburban Champions. But the four game winners are "Florida State Champions." All the older gentlemen out there remember pro football's AFL and NFL's separate championships. The FHSAA could add the four "Super Bowls" and many of our differences with the brackets would go away. Food for thought. Pardon me if this dead horse has already been buried. It's new to me
If they did that in the future it would be more an open bowl series (similar to CA) so you still have metro and suburban "state champs" but they would then play in a bowl game

Where's that @Floridaatlantic1guy who said Naples would cruise to a state title?
Columbia still alive
Pine Forest gone
Rockledge gone
Naples gone

To answer your question, having lived in Georgia, it is a somewhat confusing but interesting system. Each class has 8 regions (think "districts") with 6-8 teams per region. Round-robin play with top 4 teams advancing based on region record. So 32-team bracket. One team from each region is placed in each of the four 8-team sub-brackets, cross-seeded with the adjacent region. Bottom line is all 4 teams from a single region could conceivably qualify for the state semifinals (as could 2 teams from the same region qualify for the finals). As this is not easily explained in words, view brackets on GHSAA website if you want a visual.
Do they have a standard for seeding?

Legitimate seeding is mostly found in pro sports and is based solely on records and nothing else. It’s not a group of nerds getting together to decide who should be ranked higher than somebody else. In the NCAA it’s necessary for basketball because there are so many teams. In college football it’s subjective nonsense based on trying to get the most attractive TV matchups. In high school it’s not a very good idea. Best ways is for a District champ and District runner-up to qualify and then you move up and down the bracket. The same applies to everyone and can change year to year. If a great team has to go on the road to beat a mediocre team so be it.
Again, my opinion.
And that's your opinion which you have a right to even though I'll never agree with it but I at least respect the fact you are consistent with it
Personally I feel the postseason has more transparency with the seeding and I like knowing based on where my team is seeded what games we would host without having to check the flipped bracket variable every week and all the combustion of it
Regardless that seems to be set for all sports going forward and they don't plan to go back as most teams prefer having seeding to reward teams for their entire season performance
-
People always want to get on their high horse and talk about teams having to EARN their playoff spot by being top 2 in a district but are wanting to flip their argument to teams being entitled to a host right because of some archaic system of flipping the bracket each year when it was just as easy to have a seeding system like now (even if it can be argued if RPI or point system was just as effective while being more transparent)
You have seeding at every level of college or pro sports and it works so why would it not work in high school?

Let it go dude. It has been over 5 years for the one time that you had to travel (like every other team).
I point it out because it's a perfect example of why top/bottom failed as a "seeding system" and should have been changed
-
What I would be curious about is if someone from GA can explain their postseason bracket as you have teams traveling across the state every round because of some weird setup but it allows for teams in the same county to play in the finals if they survive the gauntlet
