Inter-Classification Results Thru Week 8

[LAZ]

1152 games played thus far between Florida schools from different classifications.
This equates to approximately 60% of all in state games played through week 8. 

That alone, should say enough.

The fact that the rural class is a combined 30-27 against 1A, 2A and 3A proves they don’t need their own special little class

[Dr. D]

So I guess you're not enthusiastic about the FHSAA proposal to expand the Rural division from 32 to 40 teams in the next classification cycle (2026-27)?

[Ray Icaza]

Looks at this point in the season that 6A has the best winning percentage overall vs all the classes.  Probably a good indication of a high number of solid teams in this classification which is also reflected in the rankings. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of separation in rankings by most sources and those by the wise men at FHSAA.   Hopefully that gap will close by seasons end to lend more credibility to the seeding formula for all teams.   Somehow in never favors us as evidenced 3 years ago having to travel to Vero for regional championship and winning easily.  Same can be said last year having to travel for both the regional (Armwood) and state Semi (Buchholz).  Now they have South Lake ahead of us with the #2 seed in our Region.  Headscratcher for sure.  No offense Beek.

Not a fan. Did 8 teams just become rural overnight? 

[Dr. D]

The proposal would expand to the lowest 40 populated schools that meet the criteria for the Rural classification and commit to the Rural classification in the sport of football.

None taken... Hopefully we will meet this year in the playoffs. 

The only explanation I have is South Lake has a 2.93 Strength of schedule and 1 loss, Where Osceola has a 7.43 Strength of schedule and 2 losses. And Boy do losses hurt in the "rankings"

If you both finish 2 and 3 like you are now you would play in the 2nd rd

Respectfully my guy Osceola has played one score games with Melbourne and Viera South Lake beats both them by 3 scores so talk about a head scratcher is The best team in my county looks like a 1st or 2nd round bounce this year be fr

Thank goodness your opinions have a track record and "Respectfully" it ain't very good.   So we can certainly re-visit this most recent one after the 2nd round in the playoffs.   We have suffered with multiple injuries to players in key roles throughout the year which has certainly impacted our performance.  My take is if we get most of them back for the playoffs we get thru the first 2 rounds and that is our expectation.  We shall see.

That SOS is the FHSAA version, yes the one that counts but that I have questioned.  According to MaxPreps, South Lake SOS is 7.8 while ours is 21.4, most recently dropping you about 40 spots while elevating ours in the most recent release.  I think most avid followers on this forum place more credence in a ranking that places STA in the top 5 in the state as opposed to #64 with over 60 teams rated better including us which I find laughable.   Same can be said for multiple teams in the top 10 in MaxPreps.   No ranking is perfect, but most seem to be pretty reasonable be it MaxPreps, LAZ, Josh, etc.... with the outlier with many detractors being FHSAA.  Just my take and not a smear on your squad, with you being correct about a possible meeting in the 2nd round.  I just rather be at home though look forward to it.

Locally, the Orlando Sentinel has a Coach's poll for Central FL teams they update weekly.  OHS has been in the top #10 all year while South Lake just rose to #16 this week.  Their HC as well as ours participate in this ranking along with 12 others so it is pretty accurate.
