Why do I feel that way? Football is a very different animal compared to the other sports. Football doesn't have a district tournament, other sports do for instance. Football is the cash cow... stop trying to shove a square peg into a round hole. Football has its own issues and those need to be addressed by themselves, not with other sports in mind.

Thanks for sharing... been waiting to see an agenda. Honestly going 100% MaxPreps would solve a lot of headaches. We will see if the ADAC kicks this back or not because the argument has been what we do for one sport, usually got to do it for all sports... and honestly that argument is so dead. Stop treating football like the other sports IMHO.

Hello everyone! Happy New Year to all of you belated... After taking a few weeks to deal with some stuff... and some stuff I would rather not discuss here, I have revamped some things and one of that is dealing with the video and live streaming. Instead of trying to stress myself out over livestreaming all the time, I have retired The Blitz branding altogether and will be focused on crafting content under The Florida HS Football Show. The Florida HS Football Show will include shows that will span about 40-50 minutes, including: - Interviews with Coaches - Interviews with Athletes - Interviews with Media - Interviews with FHSAA and SSAA Staff - Breakdown shows on both Tackle & Flag Football - Drive To State Breakdowns - Rakings - And More... Now, some shows will still be live-streamed on YouTube, Facebook, and X, which we will be LIVE on Thursday for the special FHSAA Board of Directors Meeting. I will start to put the Episodes out... I am also working on fine-tuning and putting up Shorts (YouTube) and Reels (Facebook/Instagram) from each show done as I can... just figuring out which tools make it worth trying to use without spending tons of $$$. The Florida HS Football Show is available directly on the Florida HS Football YouTube Channel or on several major podcast platforms, including Apple, Spotify, Amazon, and iHeart Radio - Just search The Florida HS Football Show ------------------ Episode #1 - Clearwater Central Catholic Head Football Coach Chris Harvey on the Marauders and Miami Hurricanes Episode #2 - FHSAA Board Calls Emergency Meeting On Football Classifications Episode #3 - FHSAA Flag Football Administrator Jeremy Hernandez chats with us about the upcoming 2026 season UPCOMING LIVE - THURSDAY 1/29 - 10:45 AM - Watch Live

1. Making tweaks as needed to get this to the level that feels confident. I feel making the tweaks on a weekly review helps instead of waiting until after the season. 2. Very much the system is adjusting as teams win and lose games. It is detecting the weaker teams better at this point. First 5-6 weeks are really a crap shoot if we want to be honest because of only so much data. Last two weeks hitting nearly 79% says a lot. 3. Thought is for 2026 is to use at least two years worth of season data, maybe three depending on what it looks like to have the preseason base to help start it off. Once we hit that point of so many games we are fully away from preseason data and focused just on the in-season data basically.
