I left off the bonus game. I go with Miami Beach

Walton (7) Riverside (5) Bolles (9) Plant (3) Lakeland (8) Niceville (4) Park Vista (1) Treasure Coast (10) Dwyer (6) SFM (2)

Haines City is 4-1, also independent and might finish 9-1.

3 team districts was the real problem. When there were 7-9 team districts the top 2 had winning records.

I agree with the concept. But in practice, losing teams still get in. How is this fair: 2 teams are on the bubble of making the playoffs. One has a 5-5 record the other has a 5-4 record due to a cancellation. The team with a 5-4 record has a .55 WP and a .01 higher RPI than the team with a 5-5 record. If they make up the cancelled game and lose, both teams now will be 5-5 but their RPI drops and no playoffs. So the system encourages no make up games.

In 2018 Tampa Robinson beat Jefferson in a district game. Both had the same w/l record. Under the old system Robinson would have made the playoffs as district runner-up. But Jefferson got in with a higher RPI.

I can't see how RPI, or the point system used in 2018 are that much of an improvement over district champ & district runner-up format previously used. This was supposed to keep teams with losing records from making the playoffs while ones with winning seasons are kept out. Has either system really accomplished that goal? Not always.

Look at Lemon Bay's RPI.

It's possible to manipulate an RPI. Going 10-0 against weak teams counts 35%. If a couple of your opponents go 5-5 or 6-4, your RPI actually looks pretty good.

it's a good laugh

So, my son just ran the math for Hardee's RPI. He said he had to subtract our game out to arrive at the same OWP as FHSAA has.

That's why I think there should be a cap on the number of transfers a program should be allowed to take.

Lake Gibson was up big then nearly blew it. Sounds like Lakeland didn't take Lake Gibson too serious until too late.

I went from first to last quick. Thanks Lakeland!

I visit it occasionally. Not much fun on there anymore.

OSL & Broward Handicapper - miss both

I was told this game was scheduled last minute due to a cancellation. Should be good one and a chance to see just how good Fort Meade is.

Freeport (1) Seminole (4) Lakeland (10) Belen Jesuit (3) Cardinal Gibbons (2) Trinity Christian (6) Apopka (7) Lakewood (8) Gulliver (5) Edison (9)

I heard that too

Fort Meade has a great team this year.

Frostproof vs Okeechobee was rescheduled to today at 6
