I would like to see them get in, they went 3-1 in the district and one of the best teams in that region.
I want the best teams in the playoffs, they did everything they could in there district (unfortunately fell short to VB) and I love that they challenged themselves. Tired of all these teams making excuses or sneaking there away into the playoffs by playing a medicore schedules.
This year has been the best HSFB year to me in a while, the Top teams took the iniative to actually schedule competitive games!
Sure TC didnt win those games, but watching film on the games they more than held there own with top teams throughout Florida.
Much rather them play a team like Jesuit that came down to a 2 point conversion compared to staying in the area and playing a local team (Ex: Westwood 40+ blowout). 
It could also be to Columbias point, some local teams might have not wanted to schedule TC. (Speculation in TCs point but it does happen.)

And here's another example.  Flagler Palm Coast is 3-6 and will finish 3-7 if they lost to DeLand tonight.  They are ranked 15th out of 18 teams in their region.    Yet they are guaranteed a playoff spot because they are champions of a pitiful 3-team district.  So as long as you advocate the status quo with laughable 2- and 3-team districts, you will continue to get "crap" teams in the playoffs.  

It's possible at the NFL level to send all 4 teams in the division to the playoffs 
 
If 4 teams in one district are among the best 8 in the region why shouldn't they go?

Lunacy on steroids is letting an 8-2 team that played chumps all year get in.   Now all we need to do is wait another week and see how the 3-7 team does in the first round vs those 8-2 teams that you SEEM to favor. 

Team at the national level of Chaminade will do that to teams like TC that only presents a running attack (much as our offense looked like for decades).  Regardless of the margin due to shortcomings on that side of the field they did hang 45 points against TC, but hung 49 on Dillard, 42 on Northwestern, even 42 on American Heritage.   What their health status is only they know, what I will agree is to your earlier point they have no business scheduling a team like CMD or STA or any elite team in the top 1%.  They may have let the success of beating AHP last year go to their heads as they should realize going in those level teams make little sense as it is pretty much an assured loss.  If you want to pick up two strong challenges where you might have a chance then a Jesuit, Osceola, etc.. makes sense with good enough overall teams already in your own district. 

I think I know who you are talking about with the man refusing to use email. If you are not getting some of the answers or solutions that you are looking for, your school should consider your options. Geographically, you have an advantage in that aspect. 

What do y'all think "touchdown" in last minute and "missed" field goal?
 

The question you ask is likely moot. TC will most likely be the 7 or 8 seed in the Region. So, there is a good chance that a rematch with Vero Beach will occur. 

If district champs play a runner up that ranks higher than them in the first round then they will host the runner up due to them being district champs. After that they will have to travel if they play someone ranked higher after the first round 

The Strength is legit just the rating of each of that teams' opponents added together and divided by the number of games played. I have been working on cracking the formula quite a bit and have figured out a few things a long the way. 
This may be public knowledge and I just never knew but Maxpreps, rating and Strength numbers are exact mirror copies of whatever Calpreps posts. So Calpreps computers do the work, maxpreps uses those numbers as their ratings. Calpreps may I add does a phenomenal job. Whatver the formula is they use is pretty damn good as nearly all state games are predicted at 82% or better. 
 
We are in a tight race with Dr. Phillips and Olympia for the last 2 playoffs spots in 4m 2. I predicted using what I thought was the formula within a couple tenths of a point this week. The issue is I still cannot for the life of me figure out exactly what they are using and being a couple tenths off this coming week means playoffs or no playoffs. 
I really do not understand the logic of not sharing the formula. Even share it on maxpreps pages so it generates traffic and advertising. Have a what if calculator and get 100 million new clicks with bored coaches and fans trying to see how they can get in. 
 
There is no doubt in my mind the current formula is a bit wonky because you can't just remove point spread from a beautiful computer formula that uses point spread heavily in their formula and expect a pretty picture.

We are a 6 seed per maxpreps, who mind you is the same company that does the FHSAA rankings but with the FHSAA we are not in the playoffs at this moment. 
This is why I wish they would give us the formula so we could see how things are being done so we can say, hey that makes sense... it is a pretty good tool. When the group that has us as a 6th seed, also ranks us as a 9th seed using whatever the different formula is... it is a bit tougher to swallow 
I do respect the FHSAA is trying to make things more fair and more balanced so the right teams get in and the better teams get chances to host even if their district was brutal. It is a bit disheartening however that we are left to sit until Sunday without knowing how to figure out if we are in or not but hoping and having faith the numbers have all been entered correctly.

Since Kissimmee Osceola is a public school, it is not YOUR GYM, the gym belongs to the taxpayers. I never get tired of teaching you lessons Ray, this time in Civics. You're welcome as usual. 

FHSAA SYSTEM SUCKS!! Can they just research the pros and cons of California, Texas, and Georgia system and come up with something better than this. I still do not see how this current system is even close to being fair!!!!

Maybe if some so called "big shot programs" wouldn't decline games this wouldn't be an issue and the current system rewards winning over trash teams more than the previous system so idk why your complaining
 
Average teams who go undefeated over independents being given higher seeds over 8-2 or 7-3 teams with playing state powers each week 
 
Guess it will help the teams like Lake Wales or Pine Forest or Eau Gallie who play cupcakes all year then want to act like they great programs when they decline games with any team with a pulse that calls them 

I hate that district runner ups are ranked ahead of their district winners but it does help the seeding in the regions where previously you could get all the heavy hitters on one side of the bracket and have it completely unbalanced.  I suppose nothing is perfect so we will have to live with this flaw of the system as a necessary evil.

Cocoa beach!. My hats off to the Head coach of that program. He has had a complete turnaround this year there. A perennial 1-9, 0-10 program. We have talked during the year. He has similar issues that I have. He is headed in the right direction. 

@Corey_Davis The head coach for beachside high mentioned to me he was interested in a bowl game since they are independent

Strength is showing the SOS (but I think the FHSAA has either altered it in some way or diminished it's value in the algorithm because it doesn't match the one off MaxPreps and the FHSAA "claimed" the only thing changed was taking out margin of victory but I don't believe that accounts for the results being done )
 
The overall rating is what will be used to determine playoff teams

I hope every one of these teams who scheduled like COWARDS and been chest thumbing on social media lately get "upset" by teams with a weaker record but a SIGNIFICANTLY better SOS just to prove to the clowns who think the overall record is the tell of a team look foolish

strength of schedule has to be a part, but no way thats the only thing.  3 of the top 10 SOS have losing records.
so schedule tough and lose and still make playoffs.
seems ridiculous to me

It will be released Sunday at 11am live on FHSAA YouTube
 
Florida HS Football and VSN will also have a breakdown bracket show starting at noon

I guess this is for a lot of teams that went into the playoffs with 2-8 3-7 records & hosting multiple playoff games over the years because they were district champs. 
 
guess they’re looking at it as if you’re a big at large team you’re more deserving as one of the top 4 seeds because you scheduled tough whole winning some tough games vice versa you scheduled nothing but cup cakes & ended the year 8-2 or 9-1 

Apopka wins the district on a game winning field goal as time expires over Seminole 24-23

For the most part Apopka always shows up in the big games. 
 
 

Congrats on the win Darter as your defense was able to limit the Seminole offense to 23 points which if you haven't seen the Seminole offense that is quite a feat.  Our defense was able to do that also, we just need to learn as your team has over the years how to seal the deal in those type games.  You hit the field goal with the game on the line, while we missed an assignment leading to the blocked PAT that cost us that game.   Good luck to a class program throughout the playoffs.
