Mia Northwestern was 5-5 going into the playoffs last year and then rattled off five straight wins to claim the state title. I doubt any team would rather go undefeated in the regular season rather then win the ultimate prize.
-
My biggest concern for Lakeland coming into the year was how were they going to replace guys like Jean and Summerall on the DL? I only saw Lakeland once last year and it was in the win over STA in the ship. And that kicker was lights out in that game.

It is as it is. Look forward to seeing how good they are.
How do you think Lakeland's team stacks up against last year's Lakeland team?

I'm looking forward to that possible Escambia vs Columbia playoff matchup.

Largo would be the easier matchup... Clearwaters offense is dangerous... Largo has no offense but a superb defense. Clearwater lost to Largo but if they play again I got Clearwater in the rematch after watching the way the game went. It was 2 big plays for Largo that were the difference that were very flukish.
I know that Rent Montie kid has been putting up big numbers in the passing game for the Tornadoes. I think I'd probably take CLW in the rematch as well, depending on the conditions.

I can't wait to see the Gaither vs largo or Clearwater 1st/2nd round game.
Should be an interesting matchup. I'm kinda hoping it's Clearwater rather than Largo but I think it will be a good matchup either way.

Hillsborough is having a historically bad year with Armwood being the only one who can sniff a playoff run. And they had a eye popping terrible loss to an inferior team.
Eye popping terrible loss to an inferior team? C'mon man! That lose was a 2OT road game at the #5 team in the state of Georgia. That's just a nonsense comment.

I guess it’s your “perspective” no pun intended.
If they play 2 easy teams and then lose to a team like Dr Phillips or Riverview that to me says they weren’t very good to begin with.
Teams with really easy schedules are hard to guage. You don’t know how to judge them.
And 12-1 is a good season for most, but it doesn’t make a team good. There’s a distinction between the two
By your estimation, how many "good" teams are there in the state?

Ole Fishspinners with a poopy 5-5 week. 26-14 now.

This one was a big surprise to me. This is the best Palmetto defense I've ever seen and I'm kinda shocked by the score. The local papers only showed the score and didn't offer much of a story line as to what was going on with Palmetto Fri night. Were players out? Did they decide to play the young guys because they've already locked up a playoff spot? Maybe Lincoln just had one of those nights were the ball just bounced their way? I'll have to take a ride to the barbershop tomorrow and see if someone knows the scoop. I do know this Palmetto team is legit and should make a deep run in the playoffs.

A lot of flapping gums about "cheating" but with no evidence offered of that.
Something within the rules isn't cheating, and transfers are within the rules. And if the parents make the effort to do the paperwork for a legitimate transfer it seems that is what they believe is in the best interest of their kids.
If people can prove or offer evidence that coaches are recruiting then please do so.
You're never going to see me trying to dime some team out for cheating. But if you don't think some form of cheating is going on at most of the traditional powerhouse schools, then you're naïve.

Some teams are way better at "cheating" than others.

What makes you think they should have man handled them? North Gwinnet is a top tier team in GA. I would expect them to make a legitimate run in 7a. Not sure where your logic is in this post. Actually from what I heard, North Gwinnet man handled Armwood. Numerous people have said that NG should have won by two touchdowns but gave up some BS plays that kept Armwood in it.
Did you quote the wrong post?

The evidence is them breezing by everyone in the area for years and then finally making it to state only to get roasted. They had one job of going to GA to help the state rep by beating an above average team they should have man handled and crapped the bed. They are too used to playing slappies so when the going gets tough, they get pushed around.
Yeah they can beat Tampa Bay team in the regular season and North Florida teams in the playoffs but when a team can match them it’s lights out
Ga has had their way with most Fla teams they've played this season. Armwood losing in 2OT on the road to a very good Ga team is hardly a knock. But yea, Armwood hasn't been able to get over the hump against Dade teams in State Title games in awhile.

please don't use RPI to say how good a team is.
I used RPI to say their schedule wasn't weak. I didn't say they were a good team because of their RPI.

Edgewater is kinda like Armwood. Big fish in a small pond beating up on overmatched opponents, but when the team lined up across from them can hit back, they crumble.
Neither has the chest to win it all.
Keep your money off either in the later rounds
You're selling Armwood very short.

Solid based on what? Are they solid for Tampa area? Solid for the entire state? The country?
I think they are pretty good for their area. East Hillsborough. Tampa Bay Area, they are good.
Entire state not so good. Entire country, really bad
5th best RPI in 7A. Which translates into a solid state schedule. Wouldn't you say that Hillsborough Co is at the very least, a top five football county in the state?

Lakeland goes into the playoffs undefeated and does not get tested till Armwood. From the Armwood game on the path gets harder, but they have as good a chance of repeating as any other team in the state.
The Lakeland/Armwood game should be pretty epic. I haven't had a chance to see Edgewater yet but I've seen STA, Lakeland, and Armwood in person this season. After the eye test, I have STA #1 followed by Lakeland then Armwood but it's really close IMO. I think anyone of those teams could beat each other on a given night.

Bloomingdale hasn’t beat anyone good.
They got destroyed by Armwood, will get destroyed by Lakeland and then get ripped out of the playoffs
finish like 9-3 with no good wins. Which means they are average at best
That's an interesting take about Bloomingdale not beating anyone good. I don't think they have much of a shot at beating Lakeland but they're certainly a solid team.

Has anyone did the math yet? Is Columbia a 7 or 8 seed?
