Part of the reason Lakeland is so high comes down to how I rank in the preseason
 
 
**Disclaimer**
 
 
Tier rankings are not in exact order, teams within the tier are placed at a random order in their listing and only are ranked in the numerical portion of the rankings, if a team is ranked within the same tier they are approximately 6-10 points within the teams in the same tier in our evaluation process on a neutral field
Our rankings take into account various factors such as returning talent, postseason success, incoming/outgoing transfers, average season performance, blue chip prospects, and potential outlook for a postseason run in 2022 among other factors based on information compiled during the off-season
Teams are evaluated based on information obtained up until July 29th of 2022, any transfers or team information acquired after that date will not be evaluated for the rankings below 
Once the season begins the only factor that will be considered is on the field resume and wins against higher ranked opponents. Roster talent is only considered for preseason when no game results are available to create an initial start point but once games begin only the results on the field will be considered for rankings
 
 
 
The transfers and players Lakeland picked up when they became a Polk County all star team (more than normal) ended up being a huge factor in their high season rating 
 
I'm aware of their weak schedule and even one loss could knock them out of the top 10 but as long as they are undefeated they will stay high because of it 
 
 
As for Jesuit they may be slightly high (which is why a more impressive Seminole team jumped ahead of them) but beating Treasure Coast and Wharton is a pretty good early season slate but I could argue a team like STA that looked vulnerable in the SJP game should drop as well 
 
The thing I'm always confident in with the rankings is on the field results will correct any questions as the season progresses and in the case of Lakeland and Jesuit is they will eventually face competition that will test their ranking and then prove or disprove it and I can make corrections then 

I see consistency as one of my most lovable traits lol

When Los is one of the most competent posters on that board is shows how far it's fallen but that's what the Prep Gridiron board is now

I honestly would like to see it held at Tropicana Park over in St Pete if that facility could be converted to a football facility
 
Also If we being honest the true center of the state is Jacksonville but outside of the jags stadium there isn't a facility in the city good enough to hold it 

I already have stated that if they don't look convincing in their game this week they won't be considered for rankings again the rest of the season without a ranked win and currently the only ranked team remaining is TCA
 
Columbia is in prove it or bye bye mode for this week, I'm just not ready to throw them to the bin after losing to argubly the best defense they will face all season 

The referee scrimmage was also only 2 quarters. It’s a non factor. 
 
Can’t really argue with that top 10 though. I think 3-5 you could flip anywhere you want. The same with 6-10 and have an argument. 

Ref scrimmages are also typically played on 50 yard fields instead of 100 
 
It's not a true game atmosphere, not even up to KOC standards

I'm not a mod actually but if Josh wants to kick me off the board I will call my credit card company tomorrow and tell them to pull the paid membership I have to the board 
 
You probably aren't even a paying member but you want to run your mouth and bring up my team because you made a dumb take about Central being overrated because your jealous that Central has surpassed Miami Northwestern as a program 

And that's not to say there weren't other good ones but those were the 2 best ones I saw from my personal opinion

Just like in the national polls, Dillard controls their own destiny
 
You have games with the #1,2 and 4 team in the state, how you do determines how far Dillard can rise in the poll but again look at a college poll
 
If you have the #12 team play the #1 team and lose by say 7 points
 
It's likely the #12 team probably falls to #14 or #15 
 
When you judge the rise/fall from that type of formula the rankings will make more sense 

So because I'm proud of my school I suddenly am clueless about sports
 
I've been saying for years IMG is overrated and you only bashed Central because your still salty they beat the bulls twice last year 

Like I said on the national board 
 
If one player costs a team the game when that team has like 50 FBS players on the roster when they are supposed to have better training and resources than any school in the country than find a new coach 

This post really didn't age well 
 
If only there was a poster on this board saying that IMG is overrated since 2018, oh wait he's right here lol

Dillard best public 
 
Chaminade is the best team on paper though but we will see how Dillard does with Chaminade

At least I did on the national board

IMG lost just as I called weeks ago when I said Central was better 
 
This is why people need to leave the rankings to me and people like Lakeland Gator need to shut up and nod when I talk football because I'm the expert 

Said it back on August 3rd lol

You are one of the few people on this board that knows South Florida football and I appreciate it! Yes. Rockets are a team on a mission without a doubt!
