Sure BTW could have scheduled smarter. I get the point. However should we have a system where possibly the best team in the class misses the playoffs due to bad scheduling? I'm only using BTW because it is the best example. I honestly could care less if they win another title.

I don't think BTW makes that mistake next cycle
They probably move up next cycle in 2019
see last post. Is that really what we want? 4A is really bad now because teams like Bolles and Trinity moved out.

You want to keep focusing on BTW...however let me give you two other teams that were in this same boat with BTW and they are seemingly doing alright: Madison County and Cocoa. All of Madison County's opponents except two are at least 3A or above. Madison has a win over a very quality 7A team (hey where are you @ColumbiaHighFan2017class?). BTW has to win a couple of those games. You can't say schedule games and expect to get in the playoffs if you can't win those games. Yeah, maybe there should have been bonus points for playing a team in a higher classification on top of bonus points for those teams you played that made the playoffs. But BTW has to win some. Plus BTW could have jumped to 5A-16 and had at least 6 guaranteed games. BTW had choices.They could have easily played in 5A. They gambled on it.
so the answer is to play in 5A? So all the good teams 1-4A should just go to 5A?

Columbia,
For what it's worth, I appreciate your weekly rankings. Nobody gets rankings 100% correct, and at the end of the day rankings are really message board fodder. You're not going to make everybody happy. But, know you have my appreciation!Would you rank team B over team A if team A beat team B by double digits and had no losses? Rankings are hard especially when you have over 500 schools. Just wish he was more logical in doing them and not show he's such a homer but I also appreciate them and try to add in my thoughts.

You have to go with what is there. Tomorrow night will change this again. It is very possible that we can have a second place team in a district miss the playoffs while the thrid place team makes it. All about SOS.
Josh it isn't really about SOS. It is about how your opponents scheduled and how they did. It doesn't matter how good a team really is. BTW at 3-3 gives you less points than a Wildwood at 5-0. Logically one would think BTW should give you more points if you play them but since BTW has a tough schedule and Wildwood has a cupcake schedule it would have been better to play Wildwood.

You had 1-9 teams making it in old system
Old one isn't better at least not in 5-8a
stop comparing old to new. Both systems suck. This one is better in 5A-8A and I'm not sure by how much. At least in 5A-8A if you don't make it you can only blame yourself for not winning the district title. Overall it is not better because it is so brutal for 1A-4A and that's not really the point. The point is it needs to be adjusted quickly. Hopefully at the end of the season major changes are made.

So basically your saying your scared of playing any of the 4 teams in Dade? BTW Norland is 3-3 bout to be 4-3 after Friday... The system is suspect a bit right now but it is the first year of it... Atleast we ain’t gonna see 2-8 teams making the playoffs no mo...
Zoe you could have an 0-10 team make it in this new system. It is highly unlikely but yes it is possible. They would have to play all teams that finish 8-2 or better and made the playoffs in the 2 year window. That would be a hell of a schedule but I could see BTW with a schedule like that. However BTW isn't losing all 10. They would also have to be in a very weak region probably in class 1A-4A where there are not many teams in the region.

That sec got as many contenders this year as acc
1
I actually think they both have 2. If Columbia is a contender then so is Georgia and Miami. They both have about the same chance of winning. Slim to none.

Auburn already lost to a acc team and I'm sure that same acc team would beat Georgia
yeah the only good one. South Carolina beat NC State who beat FSU and Alabama ruined FSU's season. So what's your point?

If that's the case wouldn't i also rank Suwannee and buchholz lol
no 50 spot bonus for them still has them outside the top 100 but I'm sure if you did a top 200 they would be highly inflated
-
There are some regions where teams right now will get into the playoffs with under 33 points. That means if I scheduled right I could go 0-10 and make the playoffs. Wildwood being #2 in a region and BTW being out just shows you how messed up it is in 1A thru 4A. It might work itself out but this just shows what could happen and it will if the system doesn't get adjusted.

This is certainly of the things in the new system that coaching staffs will have to adjust to when scheduling. Playing tough teams can backfire big time now, particularly in the lower classes that don't have districts. If you play the best, you have to beat them or be on the outside looking in.
so that will make it even harder for good teams to put together a schedule. No one will want to play them because they can play the worst team in the state and get more points for winning that game. I've been at a few good schools in my day as you know and had to put together a schedule. It was really tough before to find 10 teams that would play us. Going to be impossible next time if they don't adjust the points big time.
-
yes they will but isn't it pathetic that we have to hope the second best team in 4A maybe the best team in 4A has to beat Chaminade and Carol City in back to back weeks to make the playoffs. That sounds like a great state title game BTW vs Chaminade or BTW vs Carol City and they have to win both of them.

I will take Cocoa 28-21. I think Cocoa's defense is good enough to slow down BT

thanks I saw they were listed ahead of CCC in the playoff format and didn't know that game didn't count.

Pretty good list Columbia but you threw a curveball out there with Gainesville at 58 in the State of FL and the teams they are above.... Outside of playing Columbia in week 1 their opponents are a combined 8-17 this year?
they played Columbia so they get 50 bonus spots
-
That would be 12 districts of 7-8 teams in each district instead of 16 districts with 4-6 teams in each district.

Sounds like what we had in 90s but we probably need to lower classes from 8 to make that work
It could work 5-8A. There are enough teams. Not sure what to do with 1-4A but this is definitely not the answer for those classes.
-
In 3A they have Tampa Catholic 3-1. Didn't they lost to MCC and CCC. Was the MCC a non scheduled game?

they will be at Dunellon next year

no they won't lol. Only the champion in each class will. Heck you might have a team miss the playoffs that is the best team in their class
