Very similar to Hillsborough County then

I didn't look into the specifics of that match-up or those teams, just pointing out the distinction between the two (cancellation v forfeiture). Example, many games over the past couple years have been cancelled due to weather/hurricanes and not made up because they were not district games. That doesn't affect a teams playoff chances (providing they still meet the minimum games criteria) but a forfeited game (used ineligible players, chose to end their season i.e. Gulf HS from this season, etc.) does affect each team's W/L record and therefore their RPI.

If they hire from within, I absolutely disagree with this. As a coach you want those extra practices leading up to a bowl game to develop your system and especially the younger players who will be returning for the next season.

Cancellation wouldn't count towards your record and obviously a forfeiture does.

I assume he meant cancellation and not forfeiture.

That was an exciting game. I was coaching college that year up in Jacksonville. Me and my wife drove down to Miami to watch. Of course, I had just left coaching at Armwood after the prior season, so I had incentive to go.
