Here's my stab at it.  

  1. Miami-Dade 
  2. Broward 
  3. Orange 
  4. Seminole
  5. Duval
  6. Palm Beach
  7. Hillsborough
  8. Pinellas

I think 3 through 7 can be reordered in any order and you could make a decent case.  Pinellas is such a distant last place it's not even funny.  Any of their teams struggle to get out of round one and I believe the problem is mostly too many schools within proximity of each other that spread the talent out too thinly?

Honestly I would flip Duval and Hillsborough

 

Going into the season Duval doesn't have much after TCA and Bolles which Hillsborough has a lean IMO with Jesuit and Tampa Bay Tech and probably more depth than Duval who's next best team is probably gonna be Ed White who's maybe high end a borderline top 50 team but more than likely could finish 75-100 range statewide 

 

At best Duval has 3 top 100 teams in FL which will take them to the lower end

It's why counties up here like Leon (Tallahassee) and Alachua (Gainesville) won't win state titles in the larger classifications anymore

 

Talent is too spread out and unless all the top talent goes to one school the county couldn't keep up with the larger metros in the current climate 

 

They may compete in this suburban/metro thing but they were never gonna compete with Dade or Broward teams especially when even elite teams from the counties on the list you stated could rarely compete either

Actually no I didn't

 

Both have lost a lot of talent, Riverside graduated their best player, both QBs, best offensive weapon, several big time starting defensive players 

 

Oh and their coach left and they proceeded to lose several more players to Ed White

 

Raines also has lost a few players and even lost a kid to Ribault last week 

 

That's the common mistake on this board, nobody is actually following the reality or the player movement of the off-season than think they know the teams in my backyard better than me

TWEEEEEEET!    (Throwing the yellow flag down to the ground)

"We've got a dead ball personal foul against FBGUY for taunting ColumbiaFan with a Robert E. Lee reference.    15 yards; and loss of down."  

B)

What I enjoy is that we set their demise in motion 

 

Their fans started putting heat on the coach after the district championship loss to Columbia and by taking a district title we sent their last great team ever on the I10 road of death to get smashed by pine Forest 

 

Now they are about to be back to being Ed White whipping boy while Columbia will be taking the annual trip to the playoffs

 

That's karma

    • The question i have is & im being serious when I ask this ; what is the difference between northwestern & the first academy.    because the first academy got hit with one of the harshest punishments ive seen recently for doing basically the same thing. Paying for uber rides & other incentives to the players in need & for a lot of the transfers that transferred to TFA but didn’t have transportation to & from.    & there was NO out cry. Matter fact everyone said TFA got what they deserved. But in MNW case it’s all hell broke loose. Is it because who the head coach is ? Or is it because teddy explained what all the money he spent was for ? …….
    • If we keepin it real. Before last year northwestern was known by name, and last history but, their product on the field was avg at best. Their last title was in 2019 & after that they had a 1 or 2 4-6 or 5-5 seasons after.    & most will say they only won the championship last year because outside of central who had to forfeit 3A and the teams that’s in it is HORRENDOUS.    teddy becoming the head coach of the west single handily had transfers legal and illegal coming in left and right because he’s a former/active nfl player & lets face it in 2025 the kids love to follow the hype.    having a face like teddy on the sidelines automatically guarantee that entire team all types of connects, endorsements, exposure & etc. 
    • Nolebull, I'm not sure who you're referring to when you talk about the "jealous" and "disdainful" people.  Bridgewater has put the MNW administrators in between a rock and a hard place.   He basically came right out and said "I've been breaking the rules and if you don't like it, tough sh*t."  The MNW admin folks have two choices:  try to take matters into their own hands in hopes that the FHSAA will go easy on them or, alternatively, put their collective heads into the sand, ignore Bridgewater's public confession and hope that the matter quietly goes away.  Oh, and it ain't going away. 
    • Sure, but going about it this way will bring more attention to the absurdity of it all. Teddy is going to be just fine given his finances and reputation. The average high school coach who occasionally spends his own money like that, couldn't overcome getting caught helping.  If coaches REALLY wanted to bring about change, they'd have large email chat groups and decide to all come out together, at once, and proclaim that they, too, sometimes dip into their own pocket to help cover expenses. I suppose the schools and/or FHSAA could always cancel the season so as to administer punishments to all the guilty coaches for their generosity.  tl;dr: JUST SAY NO TO COMMUNISM. 
    • Imagine the jealously and disdain you have to have for someone that brought you a state title, bringing in top flight talent, so much exposure, huge showcase game against a national brand opponent, all while forking out your own money to do it for some punk clowns to undermine you and try and push you out. SMH.    You know in SFL you can get really good or really bad real fast. So I wouldn’t shocked if this all ends in a dumpster fire that kids start to jump ship and they struggle to maintain the standard
