Plant Panthers Miss Playoffs

guys, we're splitting hairs. The team with the better record got in. I think plant would probably trounce Nona going head to head, but it doesn't matter. Something has to be a determining factor in situations like this. That's why this whole RPI system is a complete joke. There are too many factors that really don't make a bit of difference. The way to fix the system, once and for all, as I've said for years, and years, and years, is to have 8-team districts across the board.  This fixes everything. and the district's, well largely geographic, wouldn't only have to be geographic. if the FHSAA does not want to put Miami Central, Miami Carol City and Miami northwestern in the same district, for example, then they can spread them out in the region.

The good thing is, that this would also result in less classes. But this makes far too much sense, so the FHSAA would never consider it. Because they want those meaningless first-round games in eight separate classes, 3/4 of which don't mean a damn thing

Other than to the kids playing in them....

If that was so why haven't they tried increasing classifications more if goal was just to get more playoff games

 

Also why drop 2 classes in over 50% of sports this past off-season?

LOL, NE as in Northeast

Peezy, explain how this would have worked?  How would taking a forfeit loss improve Northeast's chances of making the playoffs over an on-the-field loss to Countryside?  A loss is a loss, right?  Margin of victory is irrelevant.  If they play the game, NE has a puncher's chance to win; if they don't show up, they're guaranteed a loss.  Why not play the game?

I assume he meant cancellation and not forfeiture.

Serious question:  what's the difference?   If you call the day before and say you're not coming, that makes it a cancellation, but if you simply don't show up on game day, that makes it a forfeit?  

Who cancelled the game?  Northeast or Countryside?  Was it weather related?

Yeah, I get that. I was pissed when Robinson missed playoffs last year to Jefferson despite beating them head to head and having the same record. Son's team missed out on playoffs. In retrospect, all they had to do was beat a lousy Middleton team and they blew it. So while I agree RPI has had dumb results, we are stuck with this shit until enough people make a fuss.

In Northeast's case, at least according to MaxPreps, the game is shown as a "forfeit."  Is there a way Northeast could have made it a 'cancellation' instead?

I didn't look into the specifics of that match-up or those teams, just pointing out the distinction between the two (cancellation v forfeiture).  Example, many games over the past couple years have been cancelled due to weather/hurricanes and not made up because they were not district games.  That doesn't affect a teams playoff chances (providing they still meet the minimum games criteria) but a forfeited game (used ineligible players, chose to end their season i.e. Gulf HS from this season, etc.) does affect each team's W/L record and therefore their RPI.

This is a phone call you have to hear it to believe it.

    • 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
