I've received a couple (not many, but a couple) requests asking to update my preseason rankings to post week 1; however, Lakeland Christian hasn't played their week 1 game yet. They're playing Tenoroc tonight at 7pm. I'll update this thread tomorrow after the game has been played. But, here's my  preseason top 10 teams in Class 3A and how they did in week 1:

1) Chaminade-Madonna                 L        Miami Central     48-24
2) Melbourne Central Catholic        L        BuFord (Ga)       34-17
3) Clearwater Central Catholic        W  #5 Berkeley Prep    29-28
4) Oxbridge Academy                     L    Archbishop Wood (PA) 14-13
5) Berkeley Prep (Tampa)              L     #3 CCC                  29-28
6) Newberry                                   W    Santa Fe                 45-14    
7) American Heritage (Del-Ray)     L    Belen Jesuit             34-28
8) Tampa Catholic               DNP-No Makeup vs St. Pete Gibbs
9) Ft. White                                    W  Suwanee                 13-10
10) Lakeland Christian        vs Tenoroc 8/28 7pm Make-up.

Needless to say, the outcome of the Lakeland Christian game is important due to the vast amount of teams that lost above them. Ultimately though, I'm not going to penalize Chaminade or MCC. I don't believe any 3A team would beat Miami Central or BuFord nor do I believe any 3A team would do as good as Chaminade/MCC respectively against those teams. So Chaminade and MCC remain #1 and #2 respectively.

I'm moving CCC into a tie at #2 with MCC, which is fair. I can't penalize MCC for losing, but CCC did beat a ranked Berkeley Prep team on the road and to me beating a ranked team has to carry weight. I'm rewarding Newberry by moving them to #3, this might be too big of a jump- but I'm giving them the nod based on how many teams lost in 3A this week- plus, they play Madison County on Friday. I'm thinking this will work itself out by the 2nd week polls. 

In the name of consistency, I'm not penalizing Oxbridge Academy for losing to a powerhouse in Archbishop Wood from PA. I can't move them up, but I won't drop them either. Oxbridge stays at #4. I'm going to jump Ft. White to #5. I can't reward Tampa Catholic for not playing a game (although this is more Gibbs fault than Tampa Catholic). Lakeland Christian, even with a win over Tenoroc would not crack the top 5, but I could put them at 6. 

So, here's my 3A rankings pre Lakeland Christian vs Tenoroc:

1) Chaminade-Madonna
Tied 2)  Melbourne Central Catholic and Clearwater Central Catholic
3) Newberry
4) Oxbridge Academy
5) Ft. White
6) Tampa Catholic
7) Berkeley Prep
8) American Heritage
9) Tampa Catholic
10) Lakeland Christian

The 4 games I'm really looking at this week:

1) Chaminade-Madonna vs Miramar

The Lions are still the class of 3A, but after being rocked by Miami Central the Lions now for a solid 8A Miramar team who has yet to play a game. The Lions have to be considered the favorite in this one and should bounce back just fine as they look toward match-ups with American Heritage and Bookter T later this year.

2) Tampa Catholic vs Tarpon Springs

Tampa Catholic is going to have some very interesting games over the next few weeks that will keep them in the headlines. This week they play Tarpon Springs, a Pinellas county team that is quickly making headlines due to their offensive prowess and ability on defense to stop teams from running. Tampa Catholic is loaded at the WR position and QB Jacob Dean maybe the best QB in all of 3A. Tampa Catholic doesn't have a lot of depth and for the first time in years I'm shaky on the running back spot even though Jalen Bussey is a fan favorite, but TC has the ability to throw the football 25-30 times a game.

3) Newberry vs Madison County

Two teams ranked in the top 100 in Florida by Maxpreps. Newberry has been a pleasant surprise in 3A thus far. Madison County comes to town this week in a much anticipated game. Madison County has superior depth, but Newberry has a prolific senior QB and a stout running game. Newberry and a highly talented Ft. White team play later this year.

4) American Heritage vs Cardinal Gibbons

Gibbons is a powerhouse and American Heritage is probably looking at 2018 as the year they push for returning to power. That doesn't preclude the Stallions from winning right now, but after last weeks performance against Belen Jesuit, the Stallions probably need another few weeks to get things going. I still think American Heritage is the 2nd best team in Region 4 behind Chaminade.  The Stallions have the talent to compete with Gibbons, but it's probably too much to ask for them to pull the upset.

5) Melbourne Central Catholic vs Palm Beach Central

Due mostly in part to Palm Beach Central upsetting Delray Beach Atlantic last week, this has become an interesting game. I still believe MCC is 2 TD's (or more) better, but I'll be curious to see how the Hustlers handle coming back from Georgia to play a team coming off a major high after pulling an upset last week.

I will say in advance That my top 100 rankings have some work to do because I'm having to correct it in coming weeks because i had a bunch of rankings off in the preseason but first here the class rankings

Couple teams I would watch also are Baldwin word is they have a real good running game again this year with a dual threat qb Beat Hamilton 42-6, other is Taylor county beat Bradford 4A 24-7 JMO still early in the season we will see how these two teams do in the coming weeks.

Tampa Catholic has a tight rope to walk going forward. Their original bye week was 9/22, but they're playing a major rivalry game against a loaded Berkeley Prep team on Thursday 9/28 as it will be televised.  So, TC could play a 10th game on Friday 9/22 if there's somebody willing to play them.
 

I've received a couple (not many, but a couple) requests asking to update my preseason rankings to post week 1; however, Lakeland Christian hasn't played their week 1 game yet. They're playing Tenoroc tonight at 7pm. I'll update this thread tomorrow after the game has been played. But, here's my  preseason top 10 teams in Class 3A and how they did in week 1:

4) Oxbridge Academy                     L    Archbishop Wood (PA) 14-13
5) Berkeley Prep (Tampa)              L     #3 CCC                  29-28
6) Newberry                                   W    Santa Fe                 45-14    
7) American Heritage (Del-Ray)     L    Belen Jesuit             34-28
8) Tampa Catholic               DNP-No Makeup vs St. Pete Gibbs
9) Ft. White                                    W  Suwanee                 13-10
10) Lakeland Christian        vs Tenoroc 8/28 7pm Make-up.

The only one in 3A I'm aware of is Clearwater Central Catholic at Berkeley Prep, 7pm kickoff.

Columbia,

If you're asking me does Miami Central pounding Chaminade in week 1 mean that I don't view them as the favorite for Class 3A? No- it doesn't. It's one game. Chaminade is still #1 in 3A and still the favorite by a wide margin. You have to especially take into consideration no 3A team has the depth, line size and skill of Miami Central.

The issue right now with Chaminade is that the regular season is going to be a unfair to them by having to play 7A, 8A and national powerhouses each week. The concept that Daemon Jones (coach at Chaminade) is going with is, if they survive then 3A should be cake- but 3A has some heavy hitters that may not be able to beat a 100% healthy Chaminade, but can beat a Chaminade at 70%.


While I do think a lot of people on this message board and in general (myself included) give Chaminade major kudos for stepping up their schedule- I'm of the belief they did not do this willingly, they did this because nobody else would play them except for the Miami Central's of the world. That's the problem with stacking your team so much in 3A, you're at the mercy of your schedule since there are no districts- you're on the hook for scheduling all 10 games. JaxTCA saw the writing on the wall and wisely moved to 5A.

I promise you, if Chaminade wins a state title or two they'll be in the same boat at JaxTCA, you'll be reading about them going up to 5A just to get games scheduled against non-national powerhouses.

I believe Chaminade is the best team in 3A- I do not believe they are 3 TD's better than MCC, CCC, Oxbridge, AHD. They are 3 or more TD's better than every other team in 3A.

Honestly 5a will continue getting better with this new system since teams will move up there in order to get a few guaranteed games,  5a is a class on the rise

Miramar on a bye chaminade will be their first game More rested Hyped wanna make a statement @ Miramar the lions could very well start 0-2

Miramar has been a question these last few years as you already know. BUT you should never take them light. They will make it a game if Chaminade doesn't get some things fixed fast.
