Best chance for upset: MI, TBT, or PF? Why?

I know so little about PF, but know nuff bout Jesuit. Ditto MI & Central. TBT has a good defense & fire power on O. Played a pretty tough schedule. I think Titans have the best chance for an upset (20%?). 

Yeah these games it's impossible to pick bc it will be massive blowouts. 3 national teams vs 3 okay teams.

I'm going to go with Pine Forest, primarily because I know little about them and figure they may be better than any of us realize. But I don't give them much of a chance.

TBT's win over Lake Gibson was diminished some when I realized after the fact that LG played without Jevonte McClendon. He was a key part of their secondary, and could have made the difference in stopping the QB runs for TBT. LG also was without McClendon vs. Lowndes, which was the only other game LG got run on consistently. They had McClendon for both Lakeland games and Edgewater. IMO, the best Tech can do is what Edgewater did the last couple of years: lose but be competitive in the process.

Merrit Island is terribly outmanned and has no business being on the field with Central.

TBT has the best chance. They have Edgewater 2109 and 2020 talent. But I fear that Edgewater had better coaching and they did not get over the hump despite giving STA several moments of serious concern. 

I have watched Pine Forest on video twice, including the Jones game. They are solid, but at best (and I stress at best) no better than MNW which was, frankly, outmanned by Jesuit. So, I don't give them much chance. 

Merritt Island is a solid team, but like Lake Minneola last year will likely be just outmanned.

LOL, I should have said equivalent talent. 

I'm serious please look at 2019 madison county they have games on YouTube.  And hudl talent wise they matchup with anyone in Florida except img academy. I understand that madison did not play Lincoln or Niceville who gave Edgewater everything.  But they beat crestview who beat Lincoln badly and lost to Niceville close.  Lakewood almost beat booker t Washington that season.  Madison lost to lakewood in over time. Crestview head coach said madison was second best team they played.  Madison was loaded big on the offensive line and deep at running back. 2 great recivers and a very great defense.  2019 madison was very special.  42 points per game. Best offensive team in Florida.

Central can get their buddy they put 62 on Escambia 

If they give up enough points so as to avoid a running clock- as Central did with Escambia until late 4th quarter- perhaps. I don't see Merritt Island scoring enough to avoid the running clock by the 3rd quarter.

i watched pine forest in the regional final against mosley. they are a physical team but lack having any high end talent and are very one dimensional on offense. the quality of their schedule is much weaker than what jesuit has played. i  was surprised they beat jones but that only happened because jones couldnt convert an extra point in the last minute. I expect jesuit to win easy.

I love that a team from my city made it back to state but I don't see Pine Forest winning. I'll be happy if it's close and I think their defense keeps it respectable (within 21). I have a hard time believing the offense will be able to move the chains consistently against a bigger, disciplined defense. I'd have a lil more faith in them if they could throw the ball but it is indeed a one dimensional offense.

It turned out Pine Forest had the best chance. After they struggled to beat Jones, I did not think they had a shot at undefeated Jesuit. Little did I know they were going to give them a huge scare.

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
