Is #17 Spruce Creek the same team that was "not in the state top 100" three weeks ago?  That's quite a jump.

The lack of context is breathtaking. 
 

Also they earned their spot with results on the field that happened in the last 3 weeks. Beating Avon Ohio who is top 10 in OH and Mainland who is top 25 in FL solidified their spot in the rankings. They earned it. 
 

And that ranking you cite is a preseason ranking that a computer gave them. It was the only ranking on file at the time that goes that far in depth in a state ranking. 
 

My only regret is not asking you to give me the heads up and let me know that they would be 4-0 by now so I could have had them in earlier

Creek also had the refs who gave them so many fcking calls to keep their drives going. Sure, Mainland missed an extra point and that made them have to go for a TD instead of getting a tie with a field goal but like 17 penalties compared to like 4 is fcking wild.

The context is you were using Spruce Creek as an example of a lowly Florida team that was clearly overmatched against an out-of-state team which they had no business playing.  Oops.  Several others in that thread actually stated they had a solid/nice/well-coached team as well.  But credit for giving them the ranking they deserve at this point in the season.  As for preseason rankings, you don't know what you don't know.

I watched the game. Spruce Creek was very poorly coached. They had two separate coaches get flagged for 15 yard penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct. They probably had about 20 penalties in that game. In fact, Avon played so bad that spruce Creek did everything in their power to let Avon win and they still screwed it. Spruce Creek had some nice skilled guys, but other than that, they lacked coaching, discipline, and mental toughness. 

But a win is a win. And beating mainland proved it wasn’t a fluke.

Also coming into the season, Avon, Ohio finished as the number one team in the state and top 25 nationally. Spruce Creek lost 4 games with 2 being blowouts so bad that the opponent probably could’ve gotten a more competitive game against their own junior varsity team. 
 

So yes, on paper it did appear to be a complete mismatch.
