Is it just me or is this a lot of teams to be undefeated this late in the year lol 

I think Lakeland, STA, Dillard, Lakewood, and Blountstown are virtual locks to advance. I don't think I'd be surprised if any of the other undefeated teams fell though.

I was wondering about that. Dude literally bashes every team in the state of Florida.

Why Nolebull is like he is.
Maxpreps National Ranking for Wharton, or should I say Tanking for Wharton the last few years.
Year    Nat     W/L
2019 - 5550   6-4   2nd best team in years. The schedule was against mostly JV teams.
2018 - 6906   1-9   I think the coach started 3 blind kids on defense that year.
2017 - 6298   2-8   Head coach turned the team play calling over to his wife. 
2016 - 3880   4-5    Did they promised all the home gate money to the ref's that year if they would help them a little.
2015 - 1348    8-2   Best ever. Almost beat all the baby seals. Played one good team that year and got distroyed.
2014 - 3895    7-3   Beat one district team...
 
You get the point.
 

No OOS i 2017 or 2018. Lost to Hoover this year, but this year they are just an above-average team. Probably not a state contender as in  years past.
 
Leave Cocoa alone

BM actually had more first downs and total yardage than Jones for the game. Big penalties hurt BM in the first half; especially the roughing the punter call. Twice in the 1st quarter, BM was stopped in the red zone by Jones, coming away with only a FG. The 4th quarter was played in the rain. With score 24-16 Jones, snap went through BM punter's hands and out of end zone for safety; the wet ball slid right through his hands. Jones then scored TD about 5 plays later to ice the game. This is a game that BM could have won, but credit Jones for taking advantage of BM miscues. Jones knew at the end that this was one they were fortunate to get past.

I'm already the 2019 champ so I'm good with that.  You can be the 2019 co champ and we can both get a trophy.  Before we know it we will have 8 champs with 2 people playing in each pick em

Hillsborough had a very strong opening round. I guess they aren't as down as some had thought.

Wood 57-0 over Melbourne
Jesuit 45-9 over Eau Galle
Chamberlain 25-13 over Rockledge
Tech 52-13 over Viera

Western vs Miami Palmetto in 8A looks like a good on paper. 

These could be amongst the more competitive games.  What do you think? 
8A Apopka vs Bartram Trail
8A Vero Beach vs Treasure Coast
7A Edgewater vs Lincoln
7A Fleming Island vs Niceville
6A Columbia vs Lee
6A Central vs Naples
5A Vanguard vs North Marion
4A Gulliver Prep vs Booker T Washington
4A Cardinal Gibbons vs University
3A Berkeley Prep vs Clearwater Central Catholic

Armwood vs Bloomingdale (Lakeland defeated Bloomingdale with ease in regular season)
Lakeland vs Tampa Bay Tech (Armwood defeated TBT with ease in regular season)
I expect Armwood/Lakeland in Round 3.

Got these 2 correct.

Those are the 2 most likely ones IMO but I could realistically see any of those

After going over the brackets, these are the games that could* be big upsets.
8A 
#8 Mandarin over #1 Seminole
#8 Boca Raton over #1 Vero Beach
6A
#7 Auburndale over #2 Lake Wales
5A
#7 N.Marion over #2 Dunnellon
#8 Chamberlain over #1 Rockledge
#7 Sebring over #2 Lake Wales
#8 Bishop Moore over #1 Jones
I wouldn't bet on any of these but I think these are the most likely if any.

As of now, each playoff team is 0-0. Many are full of hope, some justifiably, some not. During the course of the playoffs, there will be upsets, mistakes (both by the officials and players), and drama. In a few short weeks only 8 teams will be left standing.
But as of today, all teams have a chance and no doubt there will be upsets along the way. Going into last year's playoffs, aside from a few insiders, who would have thought Mandarin would be have won a state title? Yes, most of the titles will be won by favored teams (or at least teams generally thought to be in contention), but a few will be surprises. It is this unpredictability that fuels the drama, leads to the excitement.
Good luck to all the playoff teams in your quest for history! I will be in Daytona for all the large class games.

Dear Lord I wouldn't want to be in that region.  Any of these teams might be a favorite in 5A, 6A or 8A

I’m surprised he lasted this long. It’s state or bust at Glades Central (unrealistic expectations), and the Muck Bowl (Pahokee) loss didn’t help. 
This kinda mirrors FSU and Taggert. FSU was 6-6 in Jimbo’s last season and had to make up a D2 game to be bowl eligible. Fans think we’re the 90s Noles (which we aren’t) and the Miami loss was unacceptable. 

Bosa brothers? Both played at STA right?

It's coming... having to verify a few of the South Florida playoff game times and locations.
