Done a lot of analysis on this one as well over the past 17 years. I'm absolutely positive if Pinkos, Massey, etc. were to perform the same exercise, their charts would look very similar.  

Class 5 Yr Avg
8A 127.80
6A 126.86
7A 126.77
5A 122.96
3A 122.30
4A 114.58
1A 110.11
2A 101.82

Actually only slightly.  A lot less than most people would imagine. It's not even worth charting. If we remove Madison County from 1A, the 5 year number drops from 110.11 to 109.69. And while Madison County is surely the most dominant team in 1A, the balance of the class is steady. Unlike 2A where the bottom half of the class is more on par with large school Freshman or JV teams. That's not a slight to Champagnat, University Chr, Victory Chr and some others who obviously have some pretty good programs, so please I mean no harm by that comment. But the fact still remains. The average 1A team (with or without Madison County) is still at least a touchdown better than the average 2A team.

1A schools are usually much larger than 2A, and even 3A schools.  Why they chose the #'s (1A, 2A, 3A, etc.) the way they did is so perfectly "FHSAA." (a synonym for careless).  So by the #'s, they should be a TD above.  That's similar to saying 4A schools are a TD favorite over 3A schools.  Would you agree?

Class 3A: 749 - 377; Class 2A: 376 - 56; Class 1A (rural): 600 – 100

Not necessarily a touchdown but it would seem logical to me that the only reason we would have eight classes based on size, is because the higher classes have a significant advantage in the level of performance due to their student population. Clearly, this is not the case. So this reasoning does not compute. Based on actual on-field performance, we are splitting hairs here. Especially with classes 6A through 8A. What is the real reason for having eight state champions? The data says there is no need for more than 5 or 6 at the very most. I'm just of the opinion that we need a complete overhaul of the current classification system. The options are out there, we either haven't found them or we have and won't implement amidst fear of change. Personally, my biggest fear is if a restructure were to occur, history will repeat itself and we will actually end up increasing the number of classifications. Quite possibly, I would find this ridiculous and would more than likely lose interest all together. In my perfect world, there would be no more than 4 classifications. Large Public, Large Private, Small Public, Small Private. Each would win a State Title. Four Champions, not eight.

    • Can't count on FHSAA to do what's right or makes sense so we have to look elsewhere.  I'm still learning about SSAA and I still have questions concerning their bylaws. It's a growing league and I think it will soon surpass FHSAA in membership. 
    • Agree. Everything could be avoided if they did what i said. Consolidate classes down to 4, and force teams who have a set number of transfers participate in an open division. Come up with a number. 5 transfers per year. Whatever number seems right. That way the all star transfer factories can duke it out for one title, and the other 4 playoff brackets will at least be a respectable.    If they create the open division with 7-8 classes next year, every bracket is gonna be beyond embarrassing and make Florida the mockery of the country. You will have glorified 2nd round losers being called state champions 
    • I hope it grows too. To about 500 members! Some of the SSAA teams were or would be playoff teams in FHSAA.  You are correct, they have zero chance of winning a championship in FHSAA.  Some are figured that out. About 400 or so need to come to the same conclusion. 
    • Most Manatee die hards, consider the 1993 title game against Southridge, a nightmare game where anything that could go wrong did in fact do that. I want to say Southridge had 2 kickoff returns for TDs, 1 Punt return for a TD, at least 1 (possibly 2 INTs returned for a TD), I believe there was also a hail Mary at half for a TD. The 1984 19-14 playoff loss to Lakeland, probably burns in die hards guts than the 1993 contest. Manatee was a heavy favorite going into that game, but 2 turnovers inside the Lakeland 10 proved ultimately to be Manatees undoing and denied Manatee any chance at back to back titles
    • I think they are small schools.    Marathon - about 700 (grades 6-12) Coral Shores - under 800 Key West - about 1,300
