1A a small enough class to let all in. Let 1A have the same number of rounds as the other classes. Determine the results on the field. You can use points for seeding. Let 1A-4A have the same number of rounds. Yea there will be blowouts. They made running clocks to ease that.

Can you schedule bowl games now??? Whats the rule on that?? If not in playoffs there are a few interesting matchups that can be made...

The solution has to be a way to determine the results on the field. With earning points based on another team winning or losing is the problem. To many factors play into a team winning or losing. Injuries, Transfers, Suspensions, etc. Did Fort White play the same Union County that Hawthorne played with their RB out for one of the games? Did Vanguard and Columbia play the same Buchholz with their QB being out? Did South Sumter turn out to be the South Sumter teams thought they scheduled??? I'm with playing a shorter schedule and allowing more teams in. Maybe split up the regions evenly, have a regional tourney to determine top 4 in region. Then have committee seed with final 16 and play it out. For bigger classes maybe have 5 games or so then force district playoff. Best team in district would make it out. Then seed that final 16. Kind of like we do in basketball, baseball, all the other sports. We never question who is in and out in basketball because the results are handled on the court. I do understand football is a different animal but it may work better.

The goal was to get the best teams in. I dont think that will be accomplished this year. Call me bitter now that my team may be left out. But this week I see a team,in same class another region, we had running clock against has a good chance of getting in. Thats why Im hurt....lol.... We knew going into the season that 2 teams on our schedule would probably be category 4. We ended up with 7. We scheduled 3 playoff teams with 2 ended up being cat 2 and one a cat 4(game cancelled irma) ... Idk how you can guess how good other teams are going to schedule or be. Few of the teams fell victim to the transfer bug. We are probably gonna finish 7-2 with a overtime loss and a tough lost in last 20 seconds. Whats the true solution? Since we got away with districts. Why not do away with regions?? Pick the best 16.

Its unfortunate for Williston. My opinion if you are one of the borderline 1A schools. Your best bet might be to move up with this point system. Williston will play a 3A/4A schedule and all teams in this region, except Pahokee, will play a true 1A schedule. Most 1A schools feel Williston has the potential to be a Madison so they are going to have to schedule tough.

You are right.. If you schedule the games then its your fault if you do not win the games... But this point system was suppose to reward teams for taking shots at better teams.... But if you look at the quality of teams that Pahokee scheduled against , lets say, the teams that wildwood scheduled... Pahokee should be a lock in the playoffs over them.. I was looking at Dixie County vs Madison County schedule and points. There is no way they should be this close if you are suppose to be rewarded for scheduling tough.

I think that as long as they dont lose to glades central they will be fine.... Hawthorne and frostproof play this friday and crescent city and wildwood suppose to play the following tuesday. So thats 2 other loses in the top 5 of the region... But you are right. If they do lose all 3 they may be out.

Like i said its a rumor.. But the game is a reschedule from Irma. So it was changed to late in the season and now might be a total cancellation. So its not just one team trying to cancel but both teams agreeing to cancel.

Im hearing rumors of 2 teams that are at the top of their region. May cancel their head2head game. Think its smart for one of them to try and cancel but not so for the other. This may become another issue with point system. If two teams are both playoff bound late in season... May do more harm than good to play that game.

Well if you were there you seen we handled them.. But we still looking for a few of them "holding" calls on film... No excuse because it should of been running clock at the half... But the refs made 2nd half pretty tough for us...lol

Im a Hawthorne guy.... We let them off the hook.... Made to many mistakes... 2 touchdowns dropped, 2 fumbles in redzone, crucial roughing the punter, let them recover onside kick... To many mistakes!!! I figured yall would handle Union even with Strong playing... Just saying it made it a little easier..

Yea... But you may not get as many chances to score 40 if their running game is eating up some of the clock.

Probably help Strong didnt play. Good win still.

You also got to hope the teams that you scheduled did so smartly. What sucks are the teams that thought they were scheduling a decent team then over the summer had players transfers out... Like we scheduled holy trinity but heard they lost some key pieces, thought they we going to be decent, and they are sitting at 0-4. So Irma causing cancel probably helped us out.

Hawthorne vs Frostproof and Wildwood vs Crescent City are big games for this region.

Not once have I excused the crime. I specifically said "this doesn't excuse any person for committing a crime and should be punished for the crime." I believe a lot of these crimes MAY NOT happen if the kids AND FAMILIES are compensated better. How about don't pay for any of their schooling. Make it a requirement to be a student at the school you wish to attend and give them $100K. Let them pay for their own schooling.

Ever seen fair market calculation for a college football player. The cost for attending UF in-state is about 20K and out-of-state is about 40K. Like I said this doesn't excuse any person for committing a crime and should be punished for the crime. And this situation a UF seems more for greed than need. But I just feel a lot of these crimes that involve student athlete and money may be avoided with more compensation. The coaches and athletic directors make millions because of these kids. Kids and their parents shouldn't have to struggle. So $600 a month may be enough for the student, but what if his/her parents are struggling to survive.

Ok. I was just trying to search up information on how playoffs are handled for 5A-8A. So district champs are in and points are determined by region for other spots like all of spots for 1A-4A?

Eastside(2-2) and North Marion(0-4). I guess winner gets spot in playoff in this class 5A, 3 team district 6 matchup. Belleview probably will win this district. Might be the weakest district in Florida.

Also their daily schedules are so full because of football. How many hours in a week would they be able to work anyway? Every kid situation is different. Some need more than others. Some need to help their homes. But due to NCAA rules they are not allowed to do things that other students, who may also get a free education, are able to do. Many students dont qualify for pell grant. These kids arent given a chance to play, they have earned the chance to play college ball.

Maybe if NCAA find a way to give these kids spending money, things like this might not happen. Wrong is wrong. Im not giving them a pass. But this situation, the situation at Ohio State, even Reggie Bush situation may not occure if these kids are given more than just tuition and books. It just come out Ohio state net worth is $1.5 bil, Florida net is $682 mil. Pretty sure they could come up with some kind of profit share and distribution to all fbs players.

Guess I was wrong about Madison. Right now they may be the favorite.

Ok... Just to tell you what happened to us. Other team was punting. 4th and 12. Kid ran on right before the snap. Making it inside the numbers before the snap. Making us have 12 on the field. Ref threw flag but didnt stop play. Let returner return ball. We were told. The down will be replayed with a 15 yard penalty. Which resulted in a first down. They called it illegal participation not illegal substitution. Now in your situation. If 12 were on the field. I believe ref should have blown dead at snap and given defense a 5 yard penalty. Which would have resulted in a first down.

I got columbia big. Maybe not running clock but close... Quote Edit
