Not really, they were selected specifically because no one knows who they are or how they will do. They are toss up games. If all fails pick what @KeemD321 picks. Lol.

For what it's worth, I don't expect to see PinellasFB on site for another couple of hours, as I suspect the celebration from Palm Harbor U's 1-point, double-overtime victory over St. Pete last night ran well into the wee hours of the morning.  

Dan when you are in Tampa you can stay at my house. Wait, are you the one who hates my guts, or is that @DarterBlue2 ? 

Hillsborough County games will be played Saturday night instead of Friday night. 

Me too. Lol 

The winner of the game jumps in my top 25. Just a little added motivation to each team before the game 

Few changes. This week I’m gonna post 15 games. We will pick every game just in case there is any postponement or cancellations. If the game is postponed to another week it will not count. If the game is cancelled it obviously doesn’t count. Every game that is listed that ends up completing will count 

Josh hasn’t given me the go ahead yet because of postponements and cancellations. I suggested we do 15 pics and whatever games get played out of the bunch will be the ones that Count.

Dam the other team it just need to be Dillard lol. Even tho I feel like we should be in there already atleast 20-25 but with losing all the transfers and not a “signature win” yet I get it. But as you stated Friday would do it. 

Times a wasting; I need to do my in-depth analysis!

NoleBull, did Keem convince you not to do a Week 2 Pick 'Em so he could declare himself  to be the season winner?

How would you know they are studs if they are 2nd and 3rd stringers on Osceola and never play? Osceola always has a tough schedule. So I highly doubt they are putting the backups in at halftime in most games. How much playing time did the backups and 3rd stringers get against Treasure Coast? 

Do you think Osceola has only played with zoned neighborhood kids the last 25 years? All the players went to middle school in the Osceola High boundary and all come up to high school together? You don’t think Osceola has kids from other areas of the county as well as Polk and Orange? Come on man!!!
 

Let’s go! I’m ready to run through a brick wall! 

This person is not on my staff or a parent of a player to my knowledge. I have never met this person and obviously wouldnt know him or her if I did.  This person seemingly knows a lot about whats going on. Their interpretation and their opinion is theirs and should be respected just as anyone elses opinion on this board. For me, I like that someone is not just discounting our accomplishments and the quality of players on this team, just because of the past. 
Strength of schedule does have to be taken into account. But Nature Coast was  district Champion last year, went 2 rounds deep in the playoffs the year before. They are a quality opponent. Our schedule was made 2 years ago when we were 1-9. We were everyone's homecoming date! 
We do lack on the line and that is what hurts us. I would put our skill against almost anyone and feel we can play a competitive game, if we dont make the same mistakes we did last week. We do not have the complete package, but we are working on it. But I refuse to believe that we arent on caliber to be in the top half of our counties teams. 
Ill put this out now. Whoever is the district runner up for Osceola's district,(provided they dont get an at large invite) which is most of our counties teams. Play us in a bowl game provided we qualify! Then people can talk! 
Last year we tried to play St. Cloud and TOHO for a bowl game, but couldnt get everything worked out due to an untimely hurricane!

I meant Vero playing Specially Fit. It’s a joke that Vero has a reputation of playing bad teams in the regular season, which in turn doesn’t prepare them for the playoffs, which in turn gets them bounced early. You know the joke.

Word from the players and coaches in twitter spaces is that there were a Lotta points left on the field by Seminole. Both squads were undisciplined. With Seminole getting a player ejected at the coin toss. They were also down 5 defensive starters

Couple points for the rankings 
Teams were rewarded for beating quality teams in state or out. New teams entering all had quality wins. 
 
Homestead tumbled from 7 to unranked because they were selling fools gold! Palmetto is getting the benefit of the doubt by beating a former high ranked team. Homestead is gonna have to earn their way back in.
 
Bartram trail is out after a struggling win vs an average team. 
Tampa Catholic is out despite not playing because other teams earned their way in. 
Osceola is out even though they lost to a high ranked team because they were already on the back end of the 25, and got handled. They always schedule tough so they can jump right back in with a good win. 
 
Venice was the biggest tumbler because they let an unranked team who hasn’t lived up to the standards Coach Callahan left beat the tar out of them up and down the field all game long. I can’t justify putting Venice over Armwood. 
 
Cocoa shot up simply because they have the best win of any team below them outside of maybe Western. And yes I am taking into account all the talk about how the refs hosed MNW. Or else Vero would have had the best win of teams below them. I ranked Western too low to start off. 
 
Edgewater dropped 6 spots after a win because I believe Bishop Moore is not a good team at all, and their schedule is atrocious. (Bishop Moore’s schedule). The coach knows they are bad. They only play Edgewater because it’s a rivalry game. Edgewater has a tough 5 game stretch coming up so it’s sink or swim for them
