Classic high school football America botching their FL polls 

 

Quite a few teams on this list that shouldn't be listed at all but then again I'm not surprised as they have no real criteria for their rankings

[THIS_IS_DILLARD]

Do they have the way that they rank them ? Or how they decide who gets put on the list.

What information and criteria are you using to assess 2021 teams?

Coaching stability

Positive/negative player movement

Consistency

Difficulty of Path in district/region

Returning players 

Strength of talent pool 

Past season success

Local source information

 

 

Basically I look at a lot of factors and judge teams based on what they tend to be heading into the season as well as gather info from sources who are familiar with teams in a specific area 

 

 

A team like Oakleaf for example graduates their starting QB and lost several key players to transfer and graduation so there are quite a few teams they shouldn't be ranked ahead of especially considering the fact a down Suwannee team proved in their spring game this past week they won't be the same team on paper

St Augustine is another who had a game changing QB who is graduating which leave some doubts that they will belong on the list

All good criteria. I just don't know where you're getting information on 2021 teams, or how reliable it is.

There was some things I would do differently but it's better than the polls released currently and the crib usually is very accurate with SFL

A better question would be: where have their studs gone? Lots of talent still in Miami Gardens, but it doesn't play at CC no more.

Miami Carol City Senior High School has been through a lot over the years and I'm not talking about Football I'm talking about the whole school. The principal they have has changed so many things causing the decline in enrollment so everybody transferring out

So are they done as a power?

I don't know because they have a good alumni not as strong as others like Northwestern but they have the resources to complete with coaching and little league parks. Then again and I'm only hearing this but when you have a principal who's changing things and for the worst it's hard for people who would want to come back or who parents want them to play but just decide on another school.

No. CC is still talented. They lost their spring game, but still pose as a threat in 4A. Although Gibbons & Booker T are in their district so watch for that.
