This pick 'em contest is not ran nor endorsed by FloridaHSFootball.com.  The contest is for fun and ran independently of the website.

 

Playoffs:

Fresh start for playoff pick 'em.  All scores back to zero and anybody / everybody is welcome to join.  We will continue with confidence picking.  I'm going to expand the number of games to help cover all divisions of playoffs.  Here is a quick rundown for the upcoming rounds:

 

Round 1 (Regional Quarterfinals) - 11/12: 16 games plus 1 bonus game (SSAC AAA Championship), 2 games per division

Round 2 (Regional Semifinals) - 11/19: 16 games plus 1 bonus agme (SSAC AAAA Championship), 2 games per division

Round 3 (Regional Finals) - 11/26: 16 games, 2 games per division

Round 4 (State Semifinals) - 12/13: 16 games, all games

Round 5 (State Championships - Dates vary: 8 games, all games

 

Scoring:

Each week, there will be 16 games to pick.  You will pick the winners and assign a confidence rating for every game.  Your most confident pick is give the 16 point spot.  The next most confident pick is for 15 points and all the way down to your least confident pick for 1 point.  A perfect week will get you 136 points plus the bonus game for 137 points.  I will track points throughout the post-season by username.  For example:

16: Team A over Team B

15: Team F over Team E

14: Team D over Team C

etc.

BONUS: Team X over Team Y

 

Round 1 (Regional Quarterfinals)

 

Picks are due by 7:00 PM on Friday

 

1A: Freeport at Holmes County (Starke)

1A: Sneads at Liberty County (Bristol)

2A: Victory Christian Academy (Lakeland) at Foundation Academy (Winter Garden)

2A: Orangewood Christian (Maitland) at Holy Trinity Episcopal (Melbourne)

3A: Tampa Catholic at Carrollwood Day (Tampa)

3A: Cardinal Mooney (Sarasota) at Bishop Verot (Fort Myers)

4A: Gadsden County (Havana) at Jackson (Jacksonville)

4A: Glades Central (Belle Glade) at American Heritage (Delray Beach)

5A: Nature Coast Tech (Brooksville) at Chamberlain (Tampa)

5A: White (Jacksonville) at Baker County (Glen St. Mary)

6A: Riverside (Jacksonville) at Columbia (Lake City)

6A: Mainland (Daytona) at Jones (Orlando)

7A: Dillard (Fort Lauderdale) at Fort Lauderdale

8A: Osceola (Kissimee) at Newsome (Lithia)

8A: Creekside (Jacksonville) at Apopka

BONUS: Santa Fe Catholic (Lakeland) vs. St. Edward's (Vero Beach)

 

I'm hoping 17 games isn't too overwhelming.  I felt it allows for a great span across the state / divisions and will lead to some disparity amongst predictions.  Predict away...

    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
