How many district runner ups will be ranked ahead of their district champ?

[badbird]

Just curious looking at the new rankings do you see any?  This happened a few times in volleyball and probably will happen in football.

1M District 2 OCP beat First Academy 31-7 for the district title but First Academy is ranked #119 OCP #210

[badbird]

2M D5 King beat Middleton 35-7 for district title but Middleton ranked higher.  Middleton won't make the playoffs so won't matter.

[badbird]

2M D14 Northwestern beat Booker T for district title but Booker T ranked higher

[badbird]

2S D1 West Florida district champ Pensacola Catholic ranked higher

[badbird]

2S D7 Eastside won district North Marion ranked higher

[DILLARDBOYZ954]

If it wasn’t for STA being ranked #7 in the nation I’m sure Dillard would’ve been ranked higher if we were in any other 3M bracket but then again if that’s the case we most likely would be district champs anyway lol.

2S D11 Nature Coast won district Hudson ranked higher

[badbird]

3M D& Osceola champs Largo ranked higher

[badbird]

3M D16 South Ridge champ Homestead ranked higher

[badbird]

3S D2 Rickards champ Lincoln ranked higher

[badbird]

3S D7 Zephyrhills district champ Pasco ranked higher

[badbird]

4M D2 Apopka district champ Seminole ranked higher.

[badbird]

4M D8 Durant District champ Sumner ranked higher

[badbird]

4S D4 Flagler Palm Coast District champs Ponte Vedra ranked higher

[badbird]

4S D6 Springstead district champs Land O Lakes ranked higher

[badbird]

4S D13 Palmetto district champ Manatee ranked higher

[badbird]

4S D15 Lehigh probably district champ Riverdale ranked higher

[badbird]

That's all I found.  I could be wrong on some of them and some might change with 1 week left.  The biggest problem I have is if these teams have a rematch after the first round the district runner up will host the champ.  The one I see being the biggest is Apopka vs Seminole.

Nice work, badbird.

I guess this is for a lot of teams that went into the playoffs with 2-8 3-7 records & hosting multiple playoff games over the years because they were district champs. 
 

guess they’re looking at it as if you’re a big at large team you’re more deserving as one of the top 4 seeds because you scheduled tough whole winning some tough games vice versa you scheduled nothing but cup cakes & ended the year 8-2 or 9-1

Ok that make sense

Again with the stupidity of the fhsaa. Why even have districts if being district champ is meaningless and the runner up could gain home field advantage? Just have regions with at least 20 teams and make a rule that teams have to schedule 7 regional games. Top 6 make it. Tiebreakers to get in  decided by Kansas tiebreaker. Top 2 seeds per region get a bye the first week of the playoffs. Preserves 5 rounds for the fhsaa and keeps garbage teams out of the playoffs.

If a 2 and 8 team won the district, there was no runner-up from that district he was going to have a good record. Let’s be serious. The system is flawed right now. It was much much better when we just had basic districts with a champ and a runner up. There are ways to improve the district model by making them bigger, or scrapping the district model and going straight to the regional model, which would ensure only the top teams made it. If that’s what everybody’s after. You wouldn’t have to worry about lousy district champs.

Six big classes of at least 80 teams. At least 20 per region. Florida could easily pull that off.
