Now this is the understanding that I have.

RPI Rankings of final 8 1A and rpi matchups.

1. Blountstown
2. Hawthorne
3. Chiefland
4. Union
5. Baker
6. Madison
7. Pahokee
8. Chipley

Regional Final matchups

1 vs 6
2 vs 7
3 vs 4
5 vs 8

Chiefland and Union game doesn't shift anyone up or down because they are 3/4 in rpi.

If higher rpi team wins every game
Blountstown host Baker
Hawthorne host Chiefland/Union

If Madison wins and all other higher rpi win.
Hawthorne host Madison
Chiefland/Union host Baker

If Madison and Pahokee win and other higher rpi win
Chiefland/Union host Pahokee
Baker host Madison

If Chipley and Madison win and other higher rpi
Hawthorne host Chipley
Chiefland/Union host Madison

Only way Madison can host is if Pahokee and Chipley win. Chipley and Pahokee has no way to host.

Thanks

So. Pahokee played 6 teams that made the playoffs last year and 4 teams that made the playoffs this year (would’ve been 6 but Lehigh and Treasure Coast games got canceled) and they have the lowest RPI??? Some teams ahead of them only played 1 team with a winning record or 0 teams that made the playoffs…this makes no sense!

thats not how it works just look at the 1a bracket and you will see how its set up

I think 1A-4A reseed the final 4 based on RPI. This may be the first year. So after Friday, they will reseed and the matchups and hosts will be set

It is simple guys! The winner of G25 Bracket (1 seed) will play the winner of G26 (4 seed) and the the winner of G27 (2 seed) will play the winner of G28 (3 seed). The bracket seeds was set at the beginning of the playoffs. Therefore, Quadrant 1 was given the #1 seeded region (Chipley vs Baker) and Quadrant 2 was given the 4th seeded region (Mad. Co vs weed town). Quadrant 3 is the 2nd seeded region (UC vs Chiefland) and Quadrant 4 is the 3rd seeded region (Pahokee vs Hawthrone).

I understand what you are saying.   Several of us noticed the same thing at the start of the playoffs.   But we then remembered that the FHSAA was (supposedly) using seeding when they got to the state semifinals instead of the old-fashioned 1 vs. 2 and 3 vs. 4.  In short, the brackets are in conflict with the handbook.   I'll find out which one controls and report back. 

For what it's worth, I reached out to the FHSAA and asked which controls for the semifinal games -- the online brackets or the reseeding based on RPI.   I got back a response that made no mention of the brackets.  Instead, it simply confirmed as follows:

 

4.7.2.3.2 State Semifinals (a) Dates and Times. See the football webpage at FHSAA.com.

(b) Bracketing. Teams will be seeded based on the RPI Ranking at the conclusion of the regular season.

The one (1) seed will play the four (4) seed and the two (2) seed will play the three (3) seed.

(c) Host Schools. Teams with the highest regular season RPI Ranking will be designated “home” team

 

I'm not saying I'm 100% right on this one, but I'm sure not going to say I'm wrong.  B)

All classes are reseeding after the regional finals... stop looking at the brackets... they mean nothing after regional finals.  

You are looking at a maxpreps bracket.  Not a FHSAA bracket. 

I got cashapp if anybody want to put a lil wager on how this works.

The MaxPreps brackets ARE the official FHSAA brackets as well... 

So yeah please send my payment...

    • 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.
