I don't care what class a team is in. It is how they do on the field or would do on the field that matters.. There are plenty of lower level schools that could compete with larger schools.

treating all 8-2, 9-1 or 10-0 teams the same is ludacrous. Giving more points on what a team did in the past is even worse

could keep a team out because a crappy team got bonus points. I'm well aware of how the point system is set up

it isn't there fault but they shouldn't be rewarded on what a team did last year much less two years ago.

and those wins should not be worth 3 points more than a similar team that didn't make the playoffs

In my opinion what a team did last year should not have any impact on how many points you get this year. It is a new year and teams change quickly in high school football. Sure the traditional powers are usually good but there is so many teams that have good years and then quickly fall off.

probably the best list you've done. I think Trinity Christian is too high. I thought after a bad kick off classic they showed well vs Cocoa but I haven't been impressed since week 1.

Seminole is not explosive on offense. They lost their top 3 skill players last year to graduation in RB DJ Hampton, QB Kaylan Wiggins and WR Gabe Davis. The young Qb is a nice replacement to Wiggins but he is still a freshman. They don't have a WR near the talent of Davis or a RB near as explosive as Hampton. I think the major issue is the running game. They have very few runs over 20 yards and their top two RB's are averaging just over 5 yards a carry which sounds decent but for a high school that is really good they should be averaging around 8-9 yards a carry. Against good teams I'm sure this average is more around 4 yds a carry. Lake Brantley looked real flat to me against Seminole. I was impressed with Seminole's defense vs Brantley but the offense still needed work. It seems the offense hasn't really improved much probably because of the youth and lack of elite skill kids on offense. I'm sure an off season speed and strength program will help them and they will be much better on offense next year. I think they should start playing #7 on offense more. he appeared to be an elite skill player on defense.

Since Viera refused to reschedule the game I wouldn't rank them over Osceola. I think all three teams you mentioned have a great shot at making the state title. Cocoa will win it all, Vero might. Viera if they get there will probably have nightmares on who is on the other side.

so you think they are top 100 or just because you got them #4 in 2A they are in. 2A is really really bad after maybe the top 2 teams no one else deserves to be top 100

Lake Mary was really good in 2013 and 2014 and lost to First Coast in the second round both years. Then they had two down years. I don't see this team as good as those they had back then but there is also not a team like First Coast was in this region. The next two games will show a lot. I wasn't surprised they beat OC University but I was surprised by the score. I think the Seminole game is a toss up and I would favor Winter Park. I wonder how both teams lake Mary and WP) decide to play that game because they could easily see each other again in the second round. Winter Park is already in and if lake Mary beats Seminole they will be in so the game won't really matter other than seeding and possibly home field advantage. I for one think home field is vastly over rated in high school with the exception of a few places.

If they win they are above DP and Apopka. If they lose a close game they should be in between Apopka and DP. If they get blown out they should be about 20

can you answer the St Francis question

I just realized you had them in your top 100 last week. That's embarrassing. Max preps has them at 366. Laz index has them at 316. What do you see that has them 220-270 spots higher?

2A St Francis Really hard to tell if they are any good. They have played one of the worst schedules possible and the only win over a team with a winning record is vs Oak Hall and Oak Hall just lost to a real bad Rocky Bayou team

Volusia, Osceola, Seminole, Orange, Lake and Sumter County. my Central Florida rankings after week 9 1. Osceola 7-0 at George Jenkins 2. Jones 8-1 at Tavares 3. Winter Park 9-0 bye 4. Wekiva 7-1 at Apopka 5. Apopka 6-2 at Wekiva 6. DP 6-2 home Cypress Creek 7 Lake Mary 7-1 at Seminole 8. Seminole 6-1 home Lake Mary 9. Bishop Moore 6-1 home Eustis 10. Mainland 4-3 at Pine Ridge others Spruce Creek 6-1, Edgewater 7-1, Boone 5-2, West Orange 5-4, LHP 6-1, Lake Nona 6-1

last week you had Wekiva 8A 20. I don't think there are 20 teams in 8A better than Wekiva. How are they not over DP? We will find out this week vs Apopka. They have one loss in a game they blew vs a pretty good Winter Park team on the road and fumbled at the end to allow Winter Park to steal the game in the last few seconds.

North Ft Myers is 6A. You would think after 9 weeks of doing it this year and at least 2 years of doing it you would at least have the teams in the right class

Oh yeah I remember When Clemson lost and you could no longer rank them #1

will have FSU ranked this week? 24 Maybe 25

no they wouldn't have turned it over 5 times because good coaches correct problems.

moving all really good teams up to 5A should not be the option.

wait until they lose. Columbiafan will have 6 pages of posts all by himself. Funny thing is he is really the only one on here that seems so interested in them.

He hasn't seen anything lol the computer has. His site does not count out of state games which is why Niceville is much higher on his site than it should be. In my opinion Niceville over the years the has probably been ranked by the laz index a little higher than it should be on his site probably because there are less connectors from the panhandle to the whole state than most parts of Florida. Meaning Niceville's 2 main connectors to the rest of the state are Lincoln and East Ridge this year and they blew both out.

Benjamin beat St Andrews 48-3 haha
