Especially after tonight, I think STA would do well tho
They would hold their own. But I feel this STA team loses to both Central and Chaminade. But we will never know.

Top 15*
I would say top 20, but 15 is closer to 20 than 20 is to 30. So, your statement, in my books is more accurate.

Heh I thought he was just trolling. I guess not?
I don't think @Jambun82 trolls. To me he's just a strange individual. I must confess, I really don't know how to read him, but would not want him to be part of the crew officiating an Apopka game.

Yup Especially Cocoa HC said Cocoa was the king of the Muck when they beat Pahokee and GC in the same season. Oh the disrespect lol
Even if he said that, you know in his heart of hearts, that he respected Muck football. The Muck was the standard in the 1990s through 2015 or so. The number of great players it produced is mindboggling when one considers its small size.

Of course it is. You really need calculus, differential equations and statistics to model anything in the real world.
But without mastering Algebraic techniques first, you cannot go on to calculus, differential equations, statistical methods, multivariate regression, mathematical induction, and the like successfully. It's the same with Trig, you need Trig to successfully master calculus.

Appreciate the honesty my good man. You’re cool too. Hopefully you’re able to catch a Dillard game this year like we talked about.
If Dillard is still playing Thanksgiving weekend, I will be there as Thanksgiving is at my niece's place and she lives in the 954.

Not for me. It was an absolute deadline. Although I noticed it was more of a guideline for others (not mentioning any names . . . especially the names of those who might run this site).
While I could game the system a bit by waiting till the 11th hour to submit my picks, I have decided to do this the old fashioned way and just win this competition with sheer skill and knowledge.

Ion consider you a Broward dude most Broward dudes are laid back and chilled

What in the world is going on in Kissimmee? If you had told me 6 months ago that The Kowboys would start 0-5, I would have split my sides laughing. But now…
This is what happens when key players go down with injuries. It greatly reduces what you can do. To a lesser degree 2014 Apopka had these issues as we finished the regular season 6-4. However we were lucky to have everyone healthy in the playoffs after game 1. The result was an unexpected state title. Osceola probably won't make a title run this year, but could well do so next year.

Stadium is about the right size based on recent attendance.

Why are u peeps blaming STA??? As far as I know there have been no allegations against the school, coaching staff, or players???? The referee’s from Broward county are the culprits. Karma against the team???? SMH
I certainly would not blame the players or coaches.

With the release of the first FHSAA Power Rankings coming soon, I am hoping there is someone out there who has been trying to gain some insight into the super-duper, top-secret, never-to-be-revealed MaxPreps/CalPreps/FHSAA Power Rankings formula. I have done some high school mathematics and linear regression, and my conclusion is that these Rankings are weighted approximately 60% to a team's overall record, and approximately 40% to strength of schedule. Meaning a team seeking a higher seed would be better off with a higher winning percentage and an average schedule, as opposed to a lower winning percentage and a more difficult schedule. Information that might be useful to coaches when setting up a schedule, but which seems to be guarded with the security of nuclear codes. Anyway, if there are any mathematical geniuses out there, it would be interesting to hear your observations. Thanks.
Given the secrecy of the rankings, the best one can do is once they come out, take a statistically representative sample of ranked teams and attempt, using different methodologies, to replicate their rankings under different assumptions. While it's almost certain that an exact fit will not be obtained, one should be able to come up with a method that fits, more or less, the rankings made by the authorities within a 95% level of confidence.
Given the overall secrecy of the methodology, to my way of thinking, it's imperative that staffs try and replicate them. This is the only way you can reasonably determine that your school was treated fairly. For aside from district champs which get an automatic birth, and, to a lesser degree, district runner ups with say a 9-1 record against good competition with their only loss being to the district champ, it will be almost impossible to determine whether your team was properly excluded/included in the playoffs or not. Further, the question of where you rank if included is also open when the rules and or methodology are not transparent. Thus, if you end up being ranked 8th in your region when you should have been 5, it will greatly impact your early opponent and could also affect home/away status.

How come you don't like Cocoa?
Cocoa took down Glades Central in back to back state title games, if I recall. That's probably a big part of it.

This is true and Bartow is a good team but barely crack the top 100, not even the top 50. Golden Gate's other victories had been to bottom dwellers until the Naples game. My sole point was losing to Naples doesn't add to the resume of top ranked teams on your schedule as may have been previously thought and puts it in a better perspective.
No doubt that's true. If Naples was going to be a contender, it is unlikely they lose to Golden Gate. That said, GG is not a cellar dweller like Celebration or Cypress Creek.

You're right and could suffer two more L's later in the year to Mainland and West Orange
They will beat West Orange in my opinion. Mainland is going to be a difficult opponent.

Naples loss doesn't help the resume when they turned around and lost at home the very next week against Golden Gate; yeah, I was thinking the same thing..... Golden who???
Golden Gate's sole loss is to undefeated Bartow. If Bartow still had the Jones Sophomore QB, they would likely be a force to reckon with this year.

Add Osceola to this list, can Kowboys beat and named brand/possible playoff team???
Good question. If healthy, they certainly can. If depleted, it will be tough.

Apopka. Play time is over. Your name and cool helmets got you in the door, now it’s time to get off the wall and get on the dance floor!!!
Win or lose Apopka will be fine. The defense will give up between 7 and 17 points against Edgewater. It will come down to whether the team is able to score more than the Eagles do.
I am cautiously optimistic.

You need to insert Treasure Coast and Vero Beach into your picks!
His South Florida only includes Dade and Broward Counties. He doesn't even include Palm Beach County let alone the Treasure Coast teams. PBC is most certainly south Florida. Regarding Treasure Coast, you can make the argument that it's its own separate region, or you could include it in south or central Florida.

Cant even disagree sadly. Extreme youthful team , damn near JV with a brand new head coach. Its ugly as hell out there dawg. But the future is bright so we wait.
The loss of your running back to transfer was lethal to the offense. Lots of talent on the team. But it's a season away from being fully effective. There's still a chance MNW could make some noise in the playoffs. You once won state after finishing the regular season going 5-5.

Chaminade vs Miami Central - In a very close game, I am going with Chaminade but it could easily go the other way
STA vs Treasure Coast - wins a close gameCardinal Newman vs Atlantic - shows they are for real
Edgewater vs Apopka - In a major upset the Darters prevail in a very low scoring game.
Niceville vs Choctaw - Eagles pull off a close win
Dillard vs Miramar - Going in the right direction
Seminole vs Vero Beach - Seminole wins a tough road game.
Rockledge vs Osceola - Osceola finally gets a very close win despite being hit by the injury bug
St Augustine vs Bartram Trail - In a very exciting game, Auggie shows they are the king of St. John's County
Ely vs Coconut Creek - I have a feeling Ely will have a very good season
Picks are bold underscored.

I have a soft spot for Ely. Saw a great Ely team win a state title in the early 2000s when they had an all world running back who, sadly, is no longer with us as he died young.
