Looks like Central will get the snub in USA Today. Oh well...life goes on.

Y'all are one of the 8 bubble teams, y'all will be in the top 25 if u get by BTW, expecially if they come in undefeated

My thoughts too.

I would put Miami central over img but oh well guess thats what the season is for

[MC Rockets]

I'm not overly disappointed but I am shocked. It wasn't like Central was going to be in the hunt for national title anyway with that 8 game schedule. Like I told Jim Halley Central's 8 is a lot better than most 10.

Y'all in my poll bro

@MC Rockets Are you serious??? The only real competition on the schedule is Carol City and Booker T. Washington. Central's schedule solid 8 doesn't even compare to the likes of Carol City, Northwestern, Jackson, Columbus, Southridge, Booker T. Washington, American Heritage and St. Thomas

Central has a nice one against East Ridge too.

They play Carol city and northwestern

Jim Halley has a pair of good reads about IMG Academy (http://floridahsfootball.com/2016/08/10/usa-today-super-25-preseason-football-no-4-img-academy/) and St. Thomas Aquinas (http://floridahsfootball.com/2016/08/10/usa-today-super-25-preseason-football-no-1-st-thomas-aquinas/).

As I said BEFORE I know Central's schedule is weak. I was referring to some of the teams ranked ahead of them in the poll.

Pre-season games do count, and they should. Here are the rankings for last season week 1, after the kickoff classics. Notice IMG is at the bottom after their loss to AHP. Their prior ranking is in parenthesis.

They tentucally don't count but people take them into account, computer polls won't have effect but human polls take kickoff game into account

That's what I meant. They don't count in the official record, but they count in the national rankings.

Is northwestern or norland supposed to be able to challenge Carol city for that number 2 spot this year?

Northwestern will have a better shot than Norland.

[Miamidade92]

Northwestern will have a better shot than Norland.

 

Agreed. Northwestern's quarterback is entering his third year as a starter and the supporting cast is good. 

[Zoe Boy]

Is it safe to say Northwestern has the best qb in that district?

[MC Rockets]

He will be the most experienced for sure. Now will that equate to the best...only time will tell. Central QB T. Morten is pretty damn good too. His downside is his height. Only about 5' 8" or 5' 9".

I heard... Cuz stay talking about him...

[BrowardHandicapper]

So is it safe to say Carol City took a hit at QB?

 

What are your main thoughts as to why Carol City will be better than last year?

More Seniors overall?

Carol city and northwestern seem to be both on the rise, would a wild card system make it possible for central,Carol city and northwestern to all make playoffs?

[SportsNut25]

Only two Florida teams made the cut in the USA TODAY’s Super 25 preseason computer rankings.

They have a great running game. Their running back is only a sophomore and will be a major D1 prospect, and their defense should be good. In the spring game they beat down a talented South Dade team 36-2

Gotcha.  That Defense should be huge for them.  Now are you sure about that "talented South Dade team" for 2016?  I heard they will be average due to a huge hit of lost Seniors.    Looking at their higher rated players they look significantly down compared to usual.  They usually have 5-10   two /three star type players on their roster if I am not mistaken.
