This Dillard High Football team has manage to do something NO! Dillard high football squad has done in over 20 years , which is become nationally ranked.

as many of you all know I have been Dillards biggest & most avid supporter and fan on this board & we’ve had a lot of bad seasons & disappointments ; so to see how far we’ve come it brings tears to my eyes. 
 

it’s still a LOOONG season but to be ranked #95 in the ENTIRE nation says a lot about our program, sure it’s NOT Top 10-50 or 100 but dammit DILLARD FOOTBALL is here & we’re BACK. @ColumbiaHighFan2017class @Jullian @VeniceIndiansFootball @muckboy561 @561_Fan @nolebull813 @DarterBlue2

Which ranking service(s) have Dillard ranked in the top 100? Just curious as there are several out there.

Not sure how I fell about the 95 ranking. A good case can be made for it, but the season is young and it could be a bit premature. I guess it depends on how strong, overall, one views the current year's crop of Florida teams on the National level.

Bear in mind, though, that national rankings at the high school level are highly subjective due to the fact that there are insufficient games between quality teams from different states to make a strong assessment.

Maxpreps, & I believe it’s off of what Dillard has done over time aka the last 3 years add that theyre on a 25 regular season win streak that dates back to 2018 and str8 blew out a 8A power house who many picked not only to beat Dillard but potentially go all the way. 
granted rankings have no baring on how a season can turn out but to be recognized as a national power house knowing what our program has been through is a lot to be proud of.

Oh wow never heard of calpreps, I just went and checked them out. 

Oh yeah, they've been around for a while.  Some things are spot on, some things are way off as with any site.  It is fun to project matchups though.

I honestly can't answer that question.  In all my years, I've never used Maxpreps for anything so I wouldn't be able to give a fair assessment.  However, based on the fact that they can't get schedules correct, I wouldn't put too much stock in that.  However, I'll also say go with the site that has you rated the highest, real talk.  It always looks better at the end of the season.

Congratulations!  This is only the beginning.  I hope the Panthers roll all the way to the title game.

I believe Maxpreps took their rankings off of Calpreps Ratings. CP uses ratings instead of rankings. CP also has a more in-depth rating system than others. CP does tend to rate California teams higher though.

One thing Calpreps use to do was have composite rankings from all the sites on their site.  Maybe I'm overlooking it or maybe they discontinued that option.  I have my crazy days but I know I'm not crazy about this.  :D  If you remember or find it, chime in!

I think they stopped that a few years back. Not sure...

    • I think the argument is this:  if 'free adults are allowed to give gifts to poor kids who happen to be good at sports,' we move from an amateur environment into a professional environment.   Historically, high school sports, college sports and even the Olympics were reserved solely for amateur athletes.  Within the last couple of decades, the barriers for professionals started to erode for the Olympics.   You may recall that Jim Thorpe won gold medals in track in the 1912 Olympics, but was stripped of those medals because he had played minor league (or "semipro") baseball prior to participating in the Olympics.   Ultimately, those medals were restored a few years ago.  The USA Olympic basketball team used to be comprised only of college players.  Now, it's all pros (with one or two college stars).  Within the last 5-10 years, NIL changes have permitted college athletes to receive compensation. Before then, the rules in place for decades allowed college student-athletes to receive room, board and tuition.  The $100 post-game handshakes from alums in the locker room and brown paper bags filled with money - although they happened everywhere - were illegal (and arguably still are; they just don't happen as much because the athletes can receive money legally through NIL). The NIL world is quickly filtering down to the high school level.  However, the rules in most all states, and certainly in Florida, are rooted in the concept that only amateur athletes can compete in high school sports.   And if you allow athletes to receive gifts, or otherwise compensate them or their families, such athletes are no longer considered amateurs.   Simply put, the rules has always been that if you get compensated to do play a sport, you are considered a professional.  And professionals cannot participate in amateur sports.  Again, the rules in place (FHSAA Rules) are rooted in a clear distinction between amateur sports and professional sports.  There was a clear line that is slowly becoming more and more blurred. If you want the argument as to why the rule makes sense, I think it is this:   there is a certain beauty in amateur sports, knowing that everyone who is playing is playing for the love of the game and not for money.  Everything changes once you start compensating athletes.  As I have stated before, the concept of compensation is a slippery slope.  What do you allow and what don't you?   FHSAA rules prohibiting impermissible benefits were written before Uber even existed. But the rule is pretty clear:  if you give something to football players that you don't give to all other students, that's an impermissible benefit - especially if the benefit is given to entice a kid to come to your school.   If you allow schools/coaches/alums to compensate kids to play sports, then you take away the somewhat-level playing field.  And, over time, certain schools will dominate high school sports because they will have the financial wherewithal to attract the most talented athletes.  While this might be good for the handful of select, talented athletes, everyone else suffers.   I guess the real question is whether we just want to eliminate the distinction between amateur athletics and professional athletics altogether and simply allow the free-market system to play out for all athletes and all schools?  If you're inclined to answer this question with a "yes," I have only six words for you:  be careful what you wish for.   
    • Yes of course big shot, how dare anyone try to help some young man out with a generous offer from his own pocket! Did the new pinstripe suits arrive yet from Brooks Brothers, F. Lee Bailey, Clarence Darrow Jr?!  
    • ESPN quotes Bridgewater's Facebook post as follows:  "The suspension came from MNW and it's impossible to suspend someone who doesn't work for you.  So if im suspended from MNW im free to go to another school of my choice but IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE. "And if it comes down to it, I will volunteer from the bleachers like I used to in 2018 and 2019 when no one had a problem." Honestly, it seems like the guy has a bit of 'the rules don't apply to me' or 'I don't have to follow the rules' mentality. 
    • Yeah, where is Darter Blue? I didn't scare and chase him off like I did other posters, did I?!   
    • Yes it's true and the alumni president stepped down. From what I read the alumni president went downtown or wherever and said something. I don't know if Teddy rubbed someone the wrong way but this is what I read. But see here's the thing about this situation. Northwestern has a strong alumni and community support. Half if not all the politicians in politics graduated from Northwestern and local pastors. If this was such a big issue something should have been said way before now and I think because Teddy asked for donations this all came about. Teddy has the money to take care of these things but why should he go broke doing it.
