True, but the MC team that played Cedar Grove is not #3 in Fla.

Venice is too low IMO.

Preseason games don't count... not going to glorify a scrimmage for the rankings. Let the real games being this week!

How in the world can Southridge be over Carol City when CC beat them 50-0 last year?? 

Are you telling me that Southridge closed a 50 point gap in less than a year?  Not buying it

Different year, different classes... even a coach change as well right before the season. Can't base everything off of last year. Sorry.

Can't base it off last year.  Can't base it off a scrimmage from three days ago.  Put the names in the hat and draw them out to see who goes where and then re-adjust as the season goes along.

Damn 8A is deep.  Winter Park and DP can't sniff the top 15.

Lol if Trinity Christian can be #4 in the state I have no problem with MC being 3.    Trinity Christian is solid, but #4?   They got bounced last year by North Marion in a low classification.

I may have put Winter Park too low in my Region ranking... I am going to have to adjust it... DP has got a lot to prove after the way they struggled last season.

No... North Marion came ready, Trinity just looked too far ahead. But Trinity is very loaded.

They were loaded last year too when everyone on here was saying they were the favorite.   What have they really done?

They are back in their proper classification. Should have never moved up.

I guess.  If you are ranking them by most likely to win state I hear you.    The truth is Trinity Christian, Chaminade, NSU,  they just aren't that good (although I admit Trinity Christian at least somewhat belongs).  

Carol City on a down year would work them.

NSU... that is one team that had a lot of young talent last year. I wouldn't want to second guess them this year. But maybe I am wrong and I have to eat my words.

FYI,

Edgewater is better than they were last year.

Well... that is why I have them ranked in the Top 5. 7A is stacked!

You think Edgewater would get beat down by Champagnat and Madison County?

They only moved up because they wanted to guarantee some games since most schools in North Florida are too scared to play TCA and look what happened

 

 

Only 3 schools in Duval had the guts to step up and play (Lee, Raines and Ribault) ironically those only 4 in Duval that will step up to play teams

 

 

Then you had Columbia and Godby for rest of North Florida

 

 

Nobody else wanted to play TCA

The love affair with central is crazy. Not sure why they are preseason ranked so high over last 3 years but definitely not third best team in the state.

I was just pointing out how deep 8A is.  

[Cocoa2010 124]

Cocoa returns most of their talent from last year and they are 4th in 4A? Yeah, I can see why the post had to be qualified with "this is a crapshoot".

True... 8A did get a lot deeper thanks to reclassification.

Don't forget the 15 transfers

[Yourbasement 79]

Crestview and Navarre in top 10 for 7A. Not surprising. They are pinned as the top squads. Crestview lost a lot of seniors, I'm definitely wondering how they will fare this year.

Any idea what to expect with Escambia and Gulf Breeze?
