In the first place none of the "elite" large SFL schools will play IMG. If they won't play you then how are you going to defeat them or know who will win? IMG has defeated some of the best Florida teams out there, Central Florida Catholic, Chaminade, Cocoa, Dillard, Miramar, Oxbridge, and Trinity Christian. Some, if not all, of these teams would give any SFL large elite schools a tough game if not outright defeat them. And, you're meaning to tell me that the SFL elite large schools are equal to or better than the national power houses that IMG routinely plays?

They playing 3 elite Dade teams this year 

 

We will see this season

True. They were all top teams in Florida in 2016. Not sure if the lack of national exposure will allow them to compete against IMG or not. When you routinely travel across the country and defeat national power houses you gain exceptional experience and confidence that is hard to match. If the Northwestern and Venice teams are equal to or better than in 2016, then I give them a fighting chance. Don't think that Berkeley Prep has much of a chance, though.

Carol City plays kickoff game and central and northwestern play img back to back weeks

 

All could possibly beat them but due to img talent i doubt all 3 will

 

Most likely just 1 beats them

Maxpreps is showing IMG playing Northwestern , Venice, and Berkeley Prep. Don't see Central. Has Venice been replaced by Central? Also, pre season games and KO Classics don't mean much of anything. Doesn't matter if Carol City does happen to edge out IMG.

 I'm going to have FL powers step to the side for a moment. Does a 26-7 win @ Grayson last year hold any weight?

 

Of course it does.  All I'm saying is that even against Grayson they were vulnerable.   They where down 10-7 going into the 4th Q and Grayson had like 5 turnovers.   Look,  I'd have IMG preseason #1 (if we're gonna count them as FL), but they are not unbeatable like everyone is saying.   Yes it would have to be an elite team to beat them, that's obvious lol.

Grayson last year made Deerfield Beach look like a JV team. To Columbia that does not hold weight though because Grayson is not located in FL.

First of all its call DEFENSE don't hate the man cuz he good dude beat Pacman in a blowout 

It not defense it's using the system to your advantage 

 

They would never let him lose a undefeated streak via decision so all he has to do in order to win is not get knocked out

I wouldn't say that though. Yes they beat them with a score that would make it look like that, but DFB wasn't pushed around at all,  they were in that game right up until halftime when Grayson chucked a Hailmary TD as the time expired.   Then in the second half DFB went pick 6 city.   

Truth is playing at a venue like Grayson is something DFB wasn't ready for.   Nothing like that type of home field advantage here in Fl IMO.  Who knows how the refs were.  (They were horrible vs Miamj Central when they went up there.)

To IMG's credit they beat Grayson at their house.   IMG IS big and bad, but what some people are saying about STA or some other national powers not being able to beat them is exaggerated.

Everyone is so quick to judge IMG.   What truly elite Fl large class schools has IMG played since their loss to AHP?   I can think of only ONE! A 17-7 win over a very very raw Carol City in a KOC.  THAT'S IT!  Carol City went on to start 0-2 before kicking up a notch.    So if you guys want to crown them kings of OOS that's fine, but wait till after this year at least to crown them the king of THIS state.   

They nasty no doubt, but damn.  

 

100%. They beat 6A- 16 Monsters (CC,MNW,MC) I'm all in, they're the TRUTH !

* Broward, I'm practically clueless about Grayson, hear they're good, but....

* ProSet, let's upgrade your small school list ( the exception being a down large school Miramar ) and replace them with the Real Deals of 6A-16 and STA. When IMG puts a foot in their a$$es , and only then will I sing your song..... time will tell.....

STA is afraid of iMG because all it would take is 1 beat down at the hands of the ascenders & they would be losing players left & right especially if they go to IMG && those players just get a glimpse of that campus ..u can count it players would transfer & sta knows it

No they wouldn't

Iron men? Who is them and Carol City just couldn't beat Carol City but had teams that can compete... You tripping TCA gave IMG a run for their money last year and just got worn down towards the end..... Last year IMG was tough but not like the year before...

Playing 2 physical dade teams back to back is not easy 

 

That will be a serious threat to IMG

Grayson is a public school that was arguably atop 5 team in the country last year. They played Miami Central in 2012:

    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
    • Ocala Vanguard https://x.com/VanguardFB/status/1772951193179840761?s=20
    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
