Agree on your first point. But the IMG win in Bradenton trumps any potential OOS victory. However, fans can’t call IMG a FL team, but not rank them in their FL T25 polls. It’s one or the either. 

I don't rank them because I only rank teams who compete in the FHSAA playoffs 

 

But I would say if I was ranking them I would currently have them #5 in Florida

In Lowndes defense, Carrollton is light years better than Lincoln. But I get the reason to gloat. It’s always the worst common denominator that makes the rest look bad. Lowndes has one main ass clown fan and it makes the whole program look bad. 

Yeah but Columbia not only won a playoff game but beat them by the same margin of victory as Colquitt County (who smashed Lowndes) 

 

But overall I have nothing against Lowndes except for that transient punk that likes to run his mouth about every school out there and talk about how shitty everyone's coaches and players are if they don't reside in Lowndes County

Per the Peachtree Ridge HC:

“This Buford team from players 1-50 was better than any STA team I ever coached. Their strength and discipline may be the best I’ve ever seen.”

Who's the Peachtree coach?

That one team will be playing in round 2 of the playoffs and one team will be sitting their ass at home 

 

 

 

Columbia also beat Lincoln in the playoffs Friday by the same margin that Colquitt County did

 

 

 

Karma, maybe next time you will keep your mouth shut and worry about your own program instead of spending so much time trying to tear down every program you can.

Looks like we disagree on 14 games. So these are the only ones to pay attention to for this. 
 

I got Munroe, you got SJP

I got Wakulla, you got Pens Catholic 

I got Ft Meade, you got Clewiston

I got Estero, you got Desoto Co

I got Raines, you got Ed White 

I got TKA, you got Boynton Beach 

I got Escambia, you got Middleburg

I got Sebring, you got Merritt Island 

I got Plantation, you got Atlantic 

I got Navarre, you got Creekside 

I got Gulf Coast, you got Riverview 

I got Springstead, you got Mitchell

I got Sumner, you got Plant

I got Santaluces, you got Douglas 

The first game is next Friday so you probably should just move it to next week's games

I gotta sweep just to tie!!!

And here I thought on Friday I was having a bad week, I guess some of the teams fought hard in second half to pull ahead because a few of those teams were trailing at halftime

Who won the contest this weekend? 

So far I hold a 7-2 edge with 5 games pending

Not that it matters because SFA gonna show how behind IMG is on a national level in comparison

Let's get ready to rumble! Next Friday night on the Flo Football channel! The MNC is on the line! #IndependentBowl 

Actually it's on the line for SFA

 

Explain how IMG could possibly jump to #1 if they fluke some way to winning when someone has already beaten them head to head this season and hasn't lost since 

 

Miami Central has earned every right to stay ahead of IMG all the way through and IMG coming into this game still doesn't have a top 50 win nationally

29-6 final 

 

Columbia basically ran ball in second half to keep the score low including a nearly 7 minute drive in the third quarter

How familiar are you with heated rival games ? When you face off records go out the window. Anybody that has played the game knows that. 
 

that’s like the jets beating the bulls Sunday. Everyone had the bills as the favorite. Even have them as the odds to win the Super Bowl , but yet they lost. 
 

look at the LSU & BAMA , lsu were the clear underdogs but that’s a heated rival game & they showed up & won. 
 

Miami central & northwestern, there was PLENTY times Miami northwestern went toe to toe with central in a down year & was suppose to be blown out even winning the game some of those years. 
 

ely came in undefeated with a lot to prove vs their most hated rival. So Dillard gets penalized because the game was close in the first half ? LMAO LOL 😂 that’s ass backwards! That’s called a good ass game between two good ass teams who happens to also be hated rivals. But aye y’all got it. 

Our rival sucks and people thought them playing us close for a half in a PRESEASON game meant that we were shit 

 

If Dillard is a threat to STA then no they shouldn't struggle with a relatively untested Ely team but again win this week and you get Ely in round 2 so we will see what happens in a full game

You’re still not saying how did you justify removing them you had them outside your top 25 then you put them back in. 
 

my question to you , how can you remove them without them even losing ?, then your reasoning is to say “this was suppose to be their marquee win” & their undisciplined is why you can’t trust them , “WHAT!?” You do not even watch our games. 
 

if you didn’t move us up or down , I can understand that. We didn’t win or lose. But to drop us out because our game got called a no contest which was not our fault is wack as hell to me bro & there is no reason to justify that. 

He's removed teams for barely escaping teams ranked below them 

 

I've had teams fall out of top 25 this year for same reason because like you see in the AP poll every year teams don't just drop when they lose 

 

As for a team dropping even though the game was called it most certainly can be justified if viewed from the idea that Dillard being as highly ranked as they are shouldn't have been close or trailing Ely through half the game, even if Dillard had scored right before it got called to put them slightly ahead they weren't playing like a top 25 team through that point of the game 

 

Dillard and Ely should both win the opening round game so they will get to face off in round 2 so it will get settled on the field at the end of the day but maybe Dillard will use that wake-up call and go for blood in the game instead of letting Ely stick around

If I do make a pick and change it prior to the game starting I'll make sure to tag you in it

When I post my picks don’t quote them until before the first game. I’ll do the same for you that way they can’t be edited. 

Not necessary because this site shows any editing of picks and @GardenStateBallercan also see when edits are made so there won't be any way to cheat

@Columbiafan let’s have a friendly contest and pick every single playoff game. We can do it march madness style where you pick every winner until the end before the playoffs start or do it round by round. 

Round by round is fine

Trust me when I say that IMG is the most feared team in America scheduling-wise. That's why a national league for elite privates/academies is already in the works for 2023 and beyond. 

I don't understand why

 

I wasn't remotely impressed by the out of shape mercenaries

1 hour ago, GardenStateBaller said:

That had no choice. Teams like SFa and IMG have to take what they can get since they're so feared. 

But SFA schedule is SIGNIFICANTLY better 

 

Both are playing each other and outside of Miami Central, the next best team on IMG schedule is a huge drop off 

 

If both are feared why is SFA still able to get significantly better teams than IMG throughout their schedule?

It’s the CIF’s fault that IMG scheduled a team from Canada. Lol

Last time I checked there are 50 states.

Yeah and even taking CA and GA out there are still 48 states 

 

No reason to play a team from Canada

Facts

SFA has had IMG number in Baltimore lately 

 

SFA by double digits 

2 minutes ago, GardenStateBaller said:

Not true. SFA is a member is good standing with the MIAA in all sports. The football teams in the conference are refusing to schedule them due to "safety" issues. Hence, SFA is forced to craft an Independent schedule annually. 

Isn't IMG in good standing as an FHSAA independent (freelance) as well?

 

Doesn't SFA currently compete as an independent? As in they don't play in the MIAA postseason for football similar to IMG

 

If that's the case why did the CIF apply the rules differently when both are considered to be in the same boat?

15 minutes ago, GardenStateBaller said:

Beggars can't be choosers. If the CIF didn't have that idiotic Academy Rule, IMG wouldn't be forced to schedule these types. 

Also how can CA play SFA? SFA was kicked out of their state association
