The analogy I use is this: I hire you to work for my company. After two weeks, I hand you a paycheck. I don't tell you how many hours you worked or what your pay rate is. You just have to take my word for it that you are being paid correctly. Of course, no employee would accept that. But the FHSAA has ceded control of its playoff process to a computer closet in California, and you just have to trust them that your team is being evaluated correctly. Makes perfect sense.
Would rather use the Massey rating system if Florida is going to use computer algorithms.

I barely passed my intro to computer science course, but anyone who has led an organization knows that you have to establish expectations and develop consequences for failure to meet those expectations. Schedules have to be input by 45 days (or whatever) from opening day. Failure to do so results in the offending school being fined $1,000 or $5,000 or whatever (money talks, right Nulli?), or the school cannot take part in the playoffs, or cannot host a home game in the playoffs, or whatever punishment would overcome laziness or ineptitude.
(A related issue is the fact that schools have to find 7-8 non-district games because of the Mickey Mouse 2-, 3-, and 4-team districts. Georgia was previously cited as an example, but they have much larger districts than Florida, so it is much less of a struggle to put together a 10-game schedule. Hence, their schedules are ready to go and published well in advance. Yet another argument for large districts.)
Three team districts are almost as bad as these pop up ads I can’t even make it through one post.

Pace High School in Pace Fl is a pretty good environment. Killer fireworks show before every game. Pretty good team this year too.

Florida has grown so fast that most people are first generation graduated of whatever high school they attend. There have been so many new high schools built over the years, that they don’t even have enough alumni to fill a stadium. Lol.
A lot of these old towns in Ohio, Georgia and Texas have generations of people going to these historical high schools. Their daddy and granddaddy went there.
Some places like Bishop Gorman is different because they are the only main option in all of Las Vegas for a private education and world class athletic experience. They have cornered the market and built a behemoth.
Back in the day Miami schools would pack 20-40,000 to see a high school game. Before pro sports were around
This is my high school stadium up in South Carolina. Seats 16k…..25k if they use the hill. Fans pack it out.

YES!! Niceville's support and the way their stadium is set up immerses fans unlike very few places in Florida.
It’s a great stadium. Not too large but packed crowds and holds noise in the stadium very well because of the shape. This was about and hour before our kick off classic Friday
