There have been a few the FHSAA has gone after, but the numbers and a breakdown you are asking for would take going through a public records request and something I do not have the funds for at this time (wish I could get this info, but currently more worried about trying to keep a roof over my head at the moment). 

I respectfully disagree @nolebull813. The biggest thing is here is open enrollment which was NOT an issue 15-20 years ago. That is a massive issue in larger areas teams can get really good and keep adding talent and then when you get that matchup between two similar sized schools in a state championship with one from South Florida and one from where ever in North or Central Florida, there is a mismatch. 
Please tell me how a team like Suwannee who has 1,112 students and Miami Central who has 1,396 students are on the same leveled playing? They are not. No way they are not. You cannot even compare a rural-type school in Suwannee to a Miami Central in the middle of Miami. There is no comparison. It is night and day between the two.

Alright, I took the time to figure out the scenarios for the state semifinals and what the possible matchups could look like based upon the final FHSAA Power Rankings that were used to seed the regional playoff brackets. 
 

You just admitted it... just totally admitted it here why we have Metro/Suburban now.

These teams have been in the same district and region at many times over the years. Try another argument with this one.

To further this point, I think it was also a great way for public contenders to get away from playing private schools in the playoffs since most of the high-level private school programs seem to be in the metro areas.  Of course this comes at the expense of any public schools in the metro areas who now have to deal with private schools in their district whereas before they were in a different classification.  I've watched some public programs in Pinellas take advantage of open enrollment and rip some other teams apart with stealing players.  Some schools, in particular, are openly predatory and seem to have no ethics regarding this issue.   It's a dead horse issue and I'm preaching to the choir here but it still feels good to vent.

All the pairings have been compiled with game dates and times set for Thanksgiving weekend playoff football!

The forums are back online finally after much dismay when someone hit the server with a malware ad attack that took days to figure out where the issue was. This affected things from the website loading properly to the forum software working correctly. With all that said, everything is back online now the software that runs the forums is now 100% up to date as well. 

Ask and you shall receive. In the top right corner there will be a moon icon that you can tap to turn on dark mode. If you want it back to white it will show a sun icon on top. 

Ahh, much better !

So apparently I have had to bat back again against some spammy issues, but it doesn't seem to be affecting the forums, but more so the main website. Finally the server company is listening to me. In the mean time I might have found where the new issue cropped in at and handled it once I got back from the wild and amazing game between Buchholz and Pace. That game was playoff football!
