SOUTH FLORIDA “TOP 10” RANKINGS ENTERING WEEK 2

[THIS_IS_DILLARD]

 

Now that the first week is in the books, all I can say is “WEEK 1 Did Not disappoint!”
 

Now entering Week 2 if I had to post my south Florida top 10 it would be. 
 

#1 MIAMI Central (1-0)

#2 Chaminade Madonna (1-0)

#3 American Heritage (2-0)

#4 MIAMI Northwestern (1-0)

#5 St Thomas Aquinas (1-0)

#6 Dillard (1-0)

#7 Columbus (1-0)

#8 Homestead (1-0)

#9 Western (1-0)

#10 Cardinal gibbons. (1-0)
 

i put gibbons at 10 because right now they don’t look all that impressive. After a big graduation class & a few transfers that transfer out they look a shell of their past championship teams.

3 weeks ago they lost a referee scrimmage to a below Avg Blanche ely team (8-7)

the very next week they didn’t put anybody points against chaminade Madonna 

& last week they won (11-6) vs a dematha team that’s nowhere near what they use to be. But it’s a long season and a lot can change. But for right now, this is where I’m at top 10 wise. 

Dark Horses:BTW (1-0) MIAMI Norland, Avant grande, Miramar,palmetto, Plantation.

[THAT S--T WAS FUNNY]

Solid list Dillard. Pretty spot on.

A referee’s scrimmage? Let’s not count that! In the same breath they played  your #2 team to a 0-0 tie! That doesn’t count? DeMatha could give everyone a game in the top 10 & prob beat half of em…..I tell ya this, I’d take Gibbons HC, DuBuc, on GAMEDAY over most of your list. HAVING HAD MY RANT, there isn’t too much wiggle room in that top 10……
 

let’s hope Cham only plays a half, like they did vs St John’s,  vs Dillard.

Ref scrimmages are also typically played on 50 yard fields instead of 100 

 

It's not a true game atmosphere, not even up to KOC standards

The referee scrimmage was also only 2 quarters. It’s a non factor. 
 

Can’t really argue with that top 10 though. I think 3-5 you could flip anywhere you want. The same with 6-10 and have an argument.

To lazy to look, but are all those teams METRO ?  If so then the 4 titles from Suburban seem a little hollow...just saying.

Almost by definition, all of the teams are Metro.   The eight counties that make up Metro are:  Broward, Dade, Duval, Hillsborough, Orange, Palm Beach, Pinellas, and Seminole.  So, if you're doing a Top 10 of South Florida teams (which is what this particular thread is), I'm not sure what you have other than teams in Broward, Dade and Palm Beach. 

If your point is that there aren't any other good teams in the state (or that there's few, if any teams, outside of South Florida that would crack into that Top 10 if the list were expanded to state wide), you may have a point . . . although I suspect there would be some argument there from folks who follow Lakeland, Buchholz, Niceville, Osceola and Venice. 

Personally, I think that the top 4S teams that I just mentioned could compete with the top 4M teams (Apopka, Seminole, Columbus, to name a few).  And while it's really not fair to 'compare' 3S with 3M or 2S with 2M (because the enrollment numbers for the four Metro classifications are not the same as for the four Suburban classifications), I think it's safe to say that the top teams in 2S (other than Cocoa) would have a difficult time beating the top teams in 2M (like Central, Bolles, Berkeley, CCC, TC, AHP, CG, Norland, etc.) and the top teams in 3S (other than, perhaps, Lincoln and, just to stay on CHF's good side, Columbia) would have a difficult time beating the top teams in 3M (like STA, Dillard, Jones, Armwood, TBT, Jesuit, etc.).  

So, while there may be a handful of really good teams in the Suburban group, the cream of the crop is definitely in Metro.

My mistake didn't "SEE" South Florida. Still not a fan of the split, showing my prejudices. #oldfool
