Sorry, I have been off the grid so to speak, but Cat_Scratch, you just made my day with your rankings...you are in the neighborhood on some of where I want to go for our preseason rankings.
 
As for a particular publication, I will not name, the rankings I saw were atrocious and considering some teams have had some major shifts, the list fell flat.

I agree with Tigerfan. You gotta prove yourself Columbia fan ,but stay postive. We in the same boat. Were climbing up the ranks back where we be long at the top.
 
As for Mr.Cat Scratch,We'll say thats approximately 75% correct in my opinion.

Columbiafan you crack me up LOL. It's a early preseason ranking go out and win 10 Games and prove you belong in the top 25.

May or may not. I wasn't totally impressed with them even running those five or six plays they did run. And yes I was there myself. There are issues on defense as well. So them not whooping Hamilton as everyone expected in the spring (which they did whoop them in the previous spring) is a sign to me of to see how far Madison can go. Right now 1A is open to the masses. If you want to win it, you better be ready otherwise get out of the way as they say.

Not totally surprised by the drop off with Madison County. They didn't look strong a couple of weeks ago in the scrimmages at Fort White and I believe this all ties into one thing of their enrollment being down. People wanted to complain, but I think they are about to see Madison might just be a non-factor in who advances to state this year. I think at this point is really anyone's game for 1A still and people pushed the panic button before the first snaps were taken.

you can do it from going to edit profile and I think their was a option in that to do it

Some folks have floated this idea, but its never going to happen because then you are going to have the smaller schools always getting smashed by the bigger schools. This is the exact reason we have classifications.

1. No criticizing or making fun of coaches, players/athletes, officials or anyone associated with a school/team that is in a negative manner and that could be found offensive.

2. If you know of a rumor and unsure about to post such a topic, contact us before doing so. Email is football@floridahsfootball.com or on Twitter @FlaHSFootball.

3. NO ADVERTISING ALLOWED: Do NOT under any circumstances advertise for anything on these message boards that can be deemed commercial in nature. If you are posting about an event for a school/team function that is totally fine by us, but services such as a traditional place of business or internet service (i.e. recruiting services) are NOT allowed to post something that can be deemed to advertise to get people to your site. When we allow this to happen, we lose revenue. We have to pay for a variety of things that keeps this site functional, without having to charge anything for our viewers to view this site. Please respect this rule. If you see anything out of place, please report it.

4. No posting foul language. 

5. No posting of anything that could fall under privacy issues such as maters involving any players. Due to so many broad laws in Florida and other places, we have to approach this topic very carefully. We understand when another source reports it, but that is a risk associated on their end that we cannot control.

6. Links to other sources are fine, but could subject to removal as see fit by FloridaHSFootball.com/Florida HS Football, LLC administrators, and owners. If in doubt, just ask!

7. Overall, we are here to have fun and in no way going to start or pick fights because you disagree with us on something. Everyone has a right to disagree and we truly understand everyone has an opinion. We are a free country and entitled to such freedoms that are offered to us. However, not having any rules would allow things to be out of control. By having this we can ensure tons of fun on the forums. Thank you for your understanding.

8. NO posting in ALL CAPS! Using all caps is fine in moderation, but not an entire post or reply. Using all caps comes off as yelling in the internet world and in considered rude by many people. Please keep this in mind as you post.
 
NEW RULE - 9. NO TALKING POLITICS at all on the forums unless it is placed under the Off Topic Board. If you post in a thread that is one subject and then you start talking politics, it will be deleted, no questions asked by the administrators or board mods. The only exception to this rule will be if talking politics RELATES to something going on with high school football or high school sports in general (like a bill that is being heard or passed in a state, for example) 

Thanks for your understanding of the rules!

I have to say I think Olympia got a pretty darn good hire here! Congrats to both parties! 

I can vibe this Joshua

Like the changes!!

The number of 3 team districts disgusts me.  I don't understand how some teams will start the season with a 67% chance of making the playoffs.  If they win a district game, a single one, they guarantee themselves at least at least a tiebreaker.  A team from a 3-team district could possibly be 1-9 and make the playoffs.  In the mean time, 8-2 Orange City University had to sit out of the playoffs last year.  How does this make sense?
 
A simple solution is this: 3-team districts only get 1 guaranteed playoff spot.  The extra spot becomes a wild card for the region.    Best win-loss record goes, 1st tiebreaker is head to head, 2nd tiebreaker is strength of schedule.
 
In 8A Region 1, they moved Orange City to District 2 due to a travel appeal.  Overall, it probably does help travel but it kills competitive balance.  8A-1 had 6 teams and so do did 8A-2, now it is 5 and 7.  8A-4 has 4 teams.  That makes a difference of 3 in the region when it easily could have been 2.  Also, even though Orange City's travel slightly improves, it moves them away from 2 opponents in their own county to 6 opponents all in a different county.  
 
I will never understand why we have so many classifications and why our districts are so small.  Make bigger classifications, make super districts and make better playoffs.

Its so simple regarding class 2A
 
tell the 29 teams they have the option to move up to 3A. If they do not like that option then they can apply to the smaller independent conferences like the Sunshine State Athletic Conference, or the North Florida Conference, or the Gold Coast, or the Southeastern conference. 
 
If they refuse, or dont get accepted, then they play as an FHSAA Independent. 
 
There are plenty of options for the 29 schools. Only a handful of them will be dissatisifed, but who cares? There are over 500 schools. You wont ever be able to please 100 percent of them. 

That is just horse crap right there.  Half the teams get to go to the playoffs?  They might as well let everyone in.  A team may be 2-9 but be a playoff team.  That is insane.

At this rate I am not sure what to expext other than we got a big mess on our hands it seems.

Truthfully I think an Independent schools championship would be great. North Carolina has the NCISAA and conducts championships in 3 classes 1A/2A/3A for private schools(non-parochial schools so catholic schools play with publics). Schools like Day schools and such play in this independent league and it works just fine. 

As Assistant Head Coach at St. Francis I can only say that when we looked at the proposed district with NFC and FAMU we felt it was in our best interest to rejoin the North Florida Conference. I am still waiting on Florida to adopt a separate championship division for schools such as SFCHS...similar to the Alabama AISAA. That would be the answer for schools such as Oak Hall, St. John Lutheran, etc.
