1-8 Jefferson County makes the 1A playoffs.  And they didn't even need a coin flip!:rolleyes:

That's what happens when you have a region that 2/3 of teams make the playoffs

 

Been saying for 2 years the small classes need to go to a North and South vs having 4 regions

 

 

Just not enough teams to justify 4 regions and no Districts

When BTW missed the playoffs a few years ago there fix was to go to 6 teams instead of 4 in each region.  Instead of fixing the issue they added more teams.  Now we get 0,1 and 2 win teams in the playoffs

 

If they stayed at 4 teams Trinity Christian one of the best two teams in 4A would be out.  

 

When your system says Trinity Christian is the 5th best team in 4A region 1 it is clearly broken

But if they give too much favoring towards SOS you get what happened last year (Gadsden County making it in as 0-9)

 

There is no easy solution

How about Jefferson is really 2-8. They won against cottondale Friday. But guess what? It's not computed into the rpi. Because it was not entered on maxpreps. So every team that played them are impacted and every teams opponents are impacted. Example... Hawthorne is .002 from the 2 seed. This should have been added to their OWP but wasnt. Which may or may not have been enough to get the 2 seed.  That's difference of. .1111 or. .2222 which may have made up the .002 needed.

Nature Coast also made it in 5A with a 5-5 record, by virtue of giving Citrus (9-1) it's only loss in their district.

Question that we always have to ask, is it better to let some teams in that have no business being in the playoffs to ensure every team that has a realistic chance is in or better to limited the number of teams who could win  even if that means leaving one or 2 out.

I think 6 is too many in 1A-4A, I thought one the reasons they changed to six was because of the hurricane hitting panhandle last year

Well if you are a 1A or 2A team and the only schools in a 80 miles radius are 4A, 5A. 6A. 7A, and 8A teams you may lose a lot of games. In theory, having 6 classes would be best. Merge 1A and 2A, and 3A and 4A into 2 classes. That would help keep some of those losing teams out. Also run the new 1A and 2A like the rest of the playoff brackets.

Probably why it won't happen. The smaller schools will drop out and become independant teams. Also the FHSAA would lose out on cash, minus 2 gate in the championships. Not sure how much that would amount to but they got to pay themselves and the ref's somehow.

They could make a tournament for the independent teams during the playoffs. Have the champions from the independent teams that choose to participate to play each other. Kinda like the bowl championship series but for the independent teams.

The teams do that for themselves already. Usually they have a 5-10 game regular season (depending on the conference) and have a semi-final and a final during "bowl game".

I know I'm saying after they finish their conference finals. The winners of those can decide to play in the independent battle of champions against other conference champions if they choose to.

    • 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. 
    • 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
