I don't think Central dodged Chaminade but claiming Miami Central is the only public to beat IMG is false

I don't see how 2013 and 2014 are significant changes in eras as absolutely nothing significant happened between those 2 seasons in the state of Florida that made any real impact on the playing level

That's like saying that any losing season by Columbia prior to the playoff era in Florida (1963) era doesn't count So they only have 5 losing seasons in a span of almost 60 years

If you clicked on the link you would see IMG in 2013 lost to Naples and TCA Naples is a Florida public school down in Collier County (it's basically down the road from that event where Bishop Gorman played Miami Central last year and where Treasure Coast beat AHP) Naples currently is in the 3S classification and lost to Dunbar last week who is now playing Mainland in the state semifinals on the opposite side of the 3S bracket from Columbia vs Lake Wales

Naples wasn't a KOC

So was I https://www.maxpreps.com/fl/bradenton/img-academy-ascenders/football/13-14/schedule/ So IMG has lost TWICE to public schools, both from Florida in addition to Columbia in the KOC So Florida publics have beaten IMG something no other state can say #FloridaTopDog

False

Is it any different than a split involving other teams in any other year You typically won't know how the other national powers will do in preseason so you can't make changes around it If the people with the power really cared they would get all state associations on the same page and get a formal national playoff set

Honestly whether Central is better than Chaminade is tough to call (I think both should get a share of a national title) but either way the best 2 teams in the country this year are from Florida so one of them should get the crown

That's never stopped a Florida team from Winning a national title before

They wouldn't this year Just because some clowns on that other national site who don't know who Chaminade is think they are garbage don't mean they are right

@Nolebull813 1R Hawthorne Union 1S First Baptist Trinity Catholic 2S Florida High Cocoa 3S Columbia Mainland 4S Lakeland Venice 1M Chaminade Madonna University Christian 2M Miami Central AHP 3M Jones STA 4M Columbus Apopka

Gibbons played twice because one was a playoff game Honestly surprised Chaminade vs STA hasn't happened more @954gator when's last time those 2 played?

I assume you meant 99.9%? And I'm aware I just don't see why, if you have a good program and people of loyalty your not gonna lose kids to them, Columbia played them a few years ago and nobody left to play for IMG

And I stand by that but it's still considered a significant win by most national polls And even overrated I still see IMG as top 25 nationally I just think lately they are closer to 11-25 range

I consider IMG an OOS win

MaxPreps is a CA bias poll that only holds credibility because they promote their product to enough people to get noticed

Idk the transfer rules of California well enough to know if player movement is strict but I can tell you now that in Florida most of the metros it's no different for a public school in Dade, Broward or Duval county to get a kid than any private since those counties typically don't operate at capacity like you may see in Hillsborough

Miami Central has gotten 20+ transfers the last 5 years That's a higher rate than ANY private in Florida And I get it Miami Central is the top dog in Dade County and every stud wants to be there but I can tell you right now they are getting talent EASIER than any private in Florida is (since IMG Academy is a academy based boarding school they aren't the same as the other private schools like STA, AHP, Chaminade, etc which aren't boarding schools) As a result under the current state law (thanks Rick Scott) a school like Miami Central or Northwestern has the same ability to get kids as any private school in Florida can

Yeah because only privates recruit? Also still think Chaminade didn't deserve to be ranked top 10 nationally?

Surprised you didn't stick by rule #3 of the nolebull evaluation process "If they are Tallahassee or further west they are HOT GARBAGE!!" 😂

He likely meant those 2 will be in the finals

Honest question? You only picked Choctawhatchee because you knew I was picking Columbia no matter what and you were hoping for an upset 😂

18-8 for me in head to head through 3 rounds (Edgewater vs Jones only Saturday game and we both picked Jones) Not sure on overall since I don't think nolebull was tracking the games where we picked same teams

@Nolebull813 I went 2-1 this week
