Teams with Bad Records Who Could Make the Playoffs?


OldSchoolLion

Recommended Posts

Last year, a winless Gadsden team made the playoffs.  Could another team with a bad record make the playoffs this year?  Here are some front runners for the honor, based on current RPI ranking:

4A-R1   #6 seed Bradford is 1-4

4A-R3   #7 seed Lemon Bay is 0-7

3A-R2    #6 seed First Academy is 1-4

1A-R4     #7 seed Pahokee is 1-4

Pahokee is not getting in.  They maybe go 2-2 over the next 4 and that is a big time maybe.  I said it at the beginning of the season that Pahokee was going to have the same thing happen to them that happened to BTW (Miami) a couple of seasons ago. The schedule is too tough and you lose one too many games. 

Pahokee barley beat a very bad Dwyer team

 

They may not even be a top 6 team in that region this year schedule or not

Maybe 1a is all trash except for Madison county. Madison is on Columbia level. Madison JV needs a playoff spot.

Well Madison lost by 11 after Columbia turned ball over 3 times 

 

I wouldn't say on Columbia level but Madison is definitely tiers better than the rest of 1a

Yeah, for real I think Madison JV could make a run. They beat Columbia JV.

Better chance Pahokee is the best team in that region than not one of the top 6.  

 

Trust me the fans could play In 1a. JV teams would kill them.i watch 1a games all the time. Horrible it's like watching people with no skills play. It's a joke of a class in Florida.

A 5-4 or 4-5 Mainland will be a #4 seed. Time for some changes.....hurtfully, just saying

Wouldn't they have hosted a first round game under any system as a district champion? I mean the original system of district winner/runner-up they still are hosting a first round game and maybe a 2nd depending on the year. So how is this system different? Now, if a 5-4 Mainland team gets in the playoffs as a #8 seed then you might have a better example of why this system isn't better.

Simple

 

There is actually seeding

 

Old system "seeding" had 9-1 Columbia below 4-6 Lincoln when columbia had beaten Lincoln at their place already that season

 

Seeding is needed!

My bad, for not explaining myself. I wasn't questioning the current playoff formula (although I agree the format needs tweaking at the least). Just the fact that in an extremely weak district, Mainland (my heart and soul) still earns a top four position in a region with a very poor season under way. Only Lakeland High, of all public Florida high schools, has been to the FHSAA playoffs in more consecutive current seasons. Lakeland 26 yrs, Mainland 25 yrs in a row. My call for "change" was sadly in house , not state wide....Buc Forever

 Mainland is not that bad of a team. I could see them winning 1 or 2 games in the playoffs.

who won the playoff game?

We did but that should have been a home game for us

 

Those playoff games are only good crowd numbers we get and that money helps Columbia with keeping up with much financially stronger programs

 

 

That extra playoff game cost us several grand since we would have gotten much bigger crowd in lake City then Lincoln who didn't even look to bring 1k to a home playoff game

    • 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

    • 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.
