Over all the coaching and the level of play is just on another level in other states. 

Which is why a avg team out of state can drag one of oyr top teams. These pro style high school play calling is such a beauty to watch its like in other states while fl is still trying to rely on out athleting their opponents which will work against most schools in florida but out of state we will keep getting exposed.

Tbh i think that overall florida isnt the best of the best when it comes to over all football play. 

Watching todays game it the type of offense and plays that are ran is just diff compared to florida our offensive plays look like it was drawn in the sand 

You mean in terms of coaching or just talent

 

In coaching, FL definitely falls behind but I've stated in the past the reason on other places but I'm not gonna get political on here to explain why I feel the coaching is bad in FL

 

 

In terms of talent FL is definitely on top (without even including IMG)

 

In terms of talent FL is still the top dogs in the country and that comes without having the support or coaching that a state like GA or TX gets, imagine how big the gap would be if FL had the level of support you see in TX

 

Scary huh? Should be lol

Care to provide some examples of this?

Last year Mississippi had the highest representation per capita of any state on the ESPN 300 list, with 14 players.  For some perspective, south FL (Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties) had 18 players on the list and the population in south FL is 6 million people... double the population of the entire state of Mississippi. 

From a per capita standpoint, Lousiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida are all quite close in terms of talent.

Only game that was a "risk" game was NG vs Armwood.    The rest were mismatches IMO.   I guess you could argue AHP but they aren't the same and Gonzaga only played em BC they have a star QB and most likely their best team ever.

BUT all of of FL had Armwood as a 21 point favorite...It seems that everyone also thought that was a mismatch before the game...

Pinkos doesn't have the comparison rankings for OOS teams so honestly not even sure how he projects these games but it's a algorithm not a prediction

Then by definition with out of state teams, it must be a prediction since his algorithm would not have information for these teams. Personally, I have always felt what he does are predictions cloaked in the language of using an algorithm. Laz, in contrast, does use an algorithm.

For what it's worth, this is the lead-in language to the picks each week on Joe Pinkos:

" Joe Pinkos’ Power Ratings are calculated by a formula based on strength of opposition and margin of victory with greater weight given to recent games. The forecasted margin of victory for each game is determined by subtracting the power rating of the lower-rated team from the power rating of its higher-rated opponent."

DAYUM son, an OBJECTIVE opinion from the Sunshine State! FLAAAWDA teams try to win on out talenting their opponents! ALL you hafta do to defeat THAT, is keep the play in front of you, and minimize big plays! Armwood gave up 26 to North Gwinnett! They got TWO FG'S against Colquitt!

WELL, since he had North Gwinnett as a three score dog against Armwood! He MAY wanna revisit his formula!

Pinkos must not think much of Georgia football! When he has the #7 ranked team in the toughest non transferred up league in America(GHSA 7A) as a three touchdown underdog.

Well, Tennessee was a 25 point favorite over Georgia State this past weekend and Georgia State won.  I seriously doubt that Vegas is going to revisit their formulas based on one random outcome.  That said, when I first posted last week that Joe Pinkos had Armwood favored by 21, I raised the question of how they assign a value (or, to use their words, a "power rating") to an out of state school.  Now that is something that they may want to revisit.  Or, given the relatively small number of out of state games, Joe may simple decide it ain't worth the time and effort -- especially since they're not taking bets or paying out huge house losses on Saturday mornings.

I just always think its a shame when one of FL powerhouses is a huge favorite and should be the clear winner based on talent and size of an opponent, but end up getting beat. Here is also what I heard from the Armwood vs. North Gwinnet game....NG should have won by multiple scores. I heard also that they physically dominated Armwood and wore them down in the second half. I have not seen the film nor will I probably be able to, but I'm just telling you what I heard. How does FL best team get physically dominated and worn down? That's a question everyone should be asking.

Armwood has a long history of fielding a team with exceptional athletes but very little depth.   I'm guessing that if they got "worn down" it was in the trenches, not at the skill positions.

Easy! Because them boys out west & up north actually knows how to ball. && their coaches actually knows how to coach.

Transfers & private vs public aside the coaching down here sucks monkey balls & the offensive play callinf is nothing to be desired. Compared to up north our ofensive play calls look like it was drawn in dirt in the backyard.

I get it i get it SFA MD SJ & Etc recruit from out the state & country blah blah them boys still piss shit & bleed just like every other player. It comes dosn to actual coaching,conditioning && dicisipline. Which florida severly lacks all 3.!! 

The days our OVER!! where we in south florida can just line up cross anyone in the country & win off just pure speed and athletics. Sure we may still be #1 in the country for over football talent. But when it comes to producing teams that actually play high level ball those school outwest take the cake.

Why do you think schools ranked middle of the pack in their own state can play one of floridas best & go toe to toe or dare i say beat them ?? When it comes to ranking our top teams down here year to year we base it off history the year before transfers & what they do to instate opponents when in actuality its easy to be dominant in florida when half your team is transfers and your playing against other undisciplined vanilla coaching florida schools; until you try that against real schools & get exposed.

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • 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.
