I would love to see what you guys south Florida top 15 looks like going into 2022. Granted anything can happen once the season kicks off but it would be go to see whose rankings were most accurate at season end. @FBGUY1989 @cribboy305 @ColumbiaHighFan2017class @DarterBlue2 @VeniceIndiansFootball @Jullian

Mostly agree, but I think I have a few tweaks:

1. Central

2 CMD 

3. STA

4. MNW

5. AHP

6. Dillard

7. Cardinal Gibbons

8. Gulliver 

9. Homestead

10. Columbus

11. Western

12. Plantation

13. Avante

14. Killian

15. Norland

But still, you have a very nice list. I think Miami Central is easily the best team in the state coming into the season. They’ve had tons of transfers on top of an already good returning class. It’s gonna be a party on 17th and nine-five when The Rockets put IMG down week 1. Can’t wait.

Killian and Norland in the top 15 is probably gonna be a massive miss by the end of the season

Certainly an interesting list. NW over Central is maybe the biggest surprise. Though Dillard over STA is also surprising. It seems STA may have some questions with their QB throwing the ball. If they do fall a bit, it seems that will be why.

norland has a good team. i don’t know where you guys getting the impression they’ll be weak, They will surprise alot of people as well as jackson & booker t. 

[SFLfootball]

Norland has gotten Champagnat’s starting QB from last season and several other transfers. They will be good.  I expect Dillard to be really good, but I couldn’t start them above Western or Heritage Plantation. Show me (they should). I don’t know about the rest of the team, Stranahan has 1 of the best players in the country.  They should be better then Monarch.

When it comes to over western why not ? They didn’t advance further then us last year, they didn’t have a better off-season then us, and also the last time we played them we beat them. 
 

ahp , we got their defensive coordinator, we had the better offseason & we both lost in the second around last year. I get their history but if we’re just gonna go off recently then meh idk.

Really ??? 

[SFLfootball]

Recent history says those teams are better. All the top teams have gotten transfers. I don’t take stock in getting a coordinator .  Western has solid coaching still. Everyone would have said those teams ere better then Dillard at the end of last season.  Now, I’m not saying they are better then you right now or that you wouldn’t beat them, but you have to beat the man to be the man.  At the end of the season, you should be better based on what we THINK we know.

Western was never Predicted to be better then Dillard, last year and most def not this year & we are going off head to head Dillard beat western head to head @ western win 2018 & Dillard has only gotten better since. Not taking anything from western Ijs. 
 

as far as American heritage I’ll give you that. So we will most def see when once the season end and begins

So when you talk about recent history that’s my opinion. 

[SFLfootball]

2018 was a few seasons ago. I think most people would say western has been a better team or more steady program recently. I could be wrong though. The people I talk to would agree though with what Coach Rack has been doing over there.  I do think Dillard should be better this year though. I just can’t put them higher in a preseason ranking yet though. It’s like what you always have said about Deerfield going into past seasons when they use to get a thousand transfers.  Have to prove it and they never could in playoffs. Let’s see if it’s different for Dillard. You guys should be sick though and expect better results.

And I respect where you’re coming from that’s why I love threads like this to hear the difference on opinions. 
 

but if we’re going off numbers Dillard has had the better season each year the last 4 years then western. We beat them in 2018 which was our last meeting and they were the favs that game.

dillard has went 36-5 in that span with areigional final app & tri county title even tho it’s not a state title. But none of that means anything I’m just ready for the season to start I’m ready for Dillard 2022

Your list is good but I'd take Killian off. Don't think they'll be good this year

If Coach Luke was on here including myself we'd all get cussed out. Nobody has mentioned Edison lol

So does Lincoln but that doesn't automatically make them better at the other 21 spots on the field 

 

I still think that one player is making stranahan a bit overrated, they are a decent team but they no title threat like some rankings have tried to make it seem like

U can’t undervalue how good a Coach Roland was for central. Yeah the Rockets are loaded, but so are NW. Big decisions come in big games, that are pivotal to the outcome! How’s the new man gonna react? 
STA lost Taylor at DC. Who’s gonna fill in his shoes??? How many coaches have that type of experience? How’s Aquinas new QB? You can’t throw downfield, u lose to other talented teams! 
Someone said on here a coordinator for Dillard won’t matter????? Dillard’s coaching staff is the best it’s been in years. Dillard’s talent is as good as Cham, STA, Central, NW etc! BUT their OL is the key. That’s was their weakness last year. Till u build an OL like the Rockets, u won’t win the big one……..
