  2. Fhsaa Points vs Laz Index vs Max Preps 1A , 2A, 3A, 4A

    Here is my top five  in my Lard Azz Index

     

    1. Sneads

    2. Baker

    3. Port St Joe

    4. Franklin County

    5. Taylor County

    These are the best concession stands I have been to in the past few years.  Sneads gets top spot for Sausage and grilled onion BBQ pork and they bring it to the stands to sell it so you leave your seat.  Baker has a good selection and the best hot chocolate which gets a lot of points because the 3 times I've been there it has been in the 30s.  PSJ for shrimp gumbo, fish dinners and smoked leg quarters they would be higher but all the stands carry different items.  Franklin County usually has fried or boiled shrimp for big games and that will all ways make my top 5.  Taylor County is efficient clean and friendly wirh a good selection.:D

    Well talking about rankings is more interesting then talking about games from a month ago like they were played last night lol 

     

    And yes it has no impact on playoffs but it's interesting to see where people view the teams at bc different people will see the same teams differently 

    The problem is nobody can see all the teams.  You see a team on paper that won by 28 but what you don't see is that the coaches of the 2 teams that played are good friends and the coach of the better team could have won by 60+ but held his kids back to not embarrass the other team.  You may have a passing team playing in 25kt winds that doen't beat someone as bad as they would on a calm night.  Computers don't see it and some guy crunching numbers 200 miles away doesn't see it.  They are fun to talk about nut don't mean much else.

    I'm mostly talking about his spread we can all be 70-80 %  picking games but his spreads have been way off and those are based on subtracting the ratings from one another.  In 2015 he was nailing the spreads within a point or two but be is off by 15 regularly.  I know it is not an exact science and I appreciate his effort, your effort, and anyone else's that puts the time and work into this.

    How do we know this won't fix the blowouts in playoffs until we test it out 

     

    But truthfully What would help is taking teams like sta and AHP and others and put them in a open class like California 

     

    Schools like them probably would be ok with being moved there so you put the national and state elites in 1 class and let everyone else fight it out in other classes 

    Because you will never stop blowouts in the playoffs.  A very simple example of this is 2014 Port St Joe wins the 1A championship over Hamilton County they return in 2015 for the championship and get throttled 56-21 in the title game.  A defending state champ getting beat by 35,  would you say they didn't deserve to be there or is there just times that great teams come along and impose their will on everyone else.  There will be blowouts in the playoffs this year as there always has and always will be.

    This whole system was rushed into by fhsaa.  They did a terrible job explaining it to the coaches, ideally you would keep the old system another year but have teams schedule their non-district by the new system and see how the points system worked without it affecting their playoff chances, that would heip everyone for future scheduling.  But I guess the problem everyone had was the blowout games so if this new system is able to keep teams like Booker T and Pakokee maybe there will be less blowouts.

    I don't consider Rutherford panhandle which is why I didn't mention them but technically it is. Tallahassee is also in the panhandle but I don't consider them either lol.

    I think it has to do with population.  Usually they are not as athletic as teams from down South.  You use to could out work people which is what the panhandle did back in the 80's but that is no longer the case.    

    Geographically everything west of the Apalachicola river is considered the Panhandle.  The major issue in the Panhandle is that the majority of schools are 1A and 4A outside of the Pensacola area and with smaller schools it is difficult to have enough good players year to year so it is kind of a roller coaster ride. The Panama City schools seems to be coaching issues,  but over the next couple keep an eye on Rutherford,  Tillman is a good coach and is building something,

    Tally and Bay County don't. Bay is the Panama City area. Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville, at least for the most part, have home stadiums for each high school.

    In the Orlando area among public schools, only Jones, whose stadium is across the street and just North, and Winter Park, whose stadium is about a mile from campus, don't have stadiums that are actually on campus.

    Bay County has Tommy Oliver Stadium (under major renovation this year)where Bay, Mosley, Rutherford, and North Bay Haven call home.  Arnold (PC Beach)and Bozeman(Sandhills/Southport) have stadiums  on campus.  In Tallahassee  Fla High, Leon,  Chiles, McClay, and NFC have on campus stadiums.

    Columbiafan I don't recall you being all in for this playoff system when the idea was first introduced.  If Columbia was on the outside looking in would you still be all for it as you are now.  Nobody really liked the idea of teams with losing records making the playoffs but we still may have that and teams that have always made the playoffs and scheduled tough teams may now miss the playoffs.  I think we may see some crazy lopsided scores come playoff time.

    Does "show up to practice" qualify as a "demand of varsity football"?

    No I was thinking more along the lines of getting run over by the big boys and not wanting anymore.  From what I had heard from a summer FCA camp Choctaw was having some issues then and was being handled by the 1A schools at the camp

    What i mean is if the class is weak eventually every team will either grow or fall and eventually it will level out 

     

    It can't be any worse than 1 good team destroying everyone else at state

    I think what we should do is any team that wins state be banned from the playoffs for 20 years that will give teams that never win a chance.  

  23. Playoff point system has major flaws

    The important thing to me is getting the teams in the playoffs that deserve to be there.  If a team wins their district they should be in but once you're in then it is about the best team moving forward.  If you have to play a team in the first round that you can't beat then you were not going to win that ring anyway.  For a team to win the championship they have to be an exceptional  team and usually catch a lucky break along the way.  But if you get in the playoffs you have a chance maybe you are the one that catches a lucky break.

    well if they don't experiment with all the classes then they wont be able to figure out how to make it better

     

    while I think 1-4a should still have kept districts I think the runner up guaranteed spot had to go 

    Exactly everyone should have kept districts and the points system should have been used to fill out the playoff brackets.  That would have encouraged schools to schedule tougher games and we would end up with the best teams in the playoffs.  I really don't hate the idea if you keep districts the way the higher classifications do.  Determining strength of schedule is a tough task no matter how you do it.  I do think we need to look at revamping the classifications.  I would be for combining 1A  and 2A with 2A  teams in a large cities being moved up to the next class.
