GardenStateBaller Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 31 minutes ago, Columbiafan said: Most Florida football fans don't give a shit about IMG anyway because they are loaded in OOS kids and don't even compete in a postseason Hell they didn't even win a national title in any poll until COVID year which has hundreds of potential asterisks attached to it The majority of their roster is comprised of FL-based players. Not including them discredits all of your hardwork in assembling such. If CP, MP, HSFA and NationalHSFB.com all recognize them as a FL team, you need to also in order to be taken seriously.

If I ranked them I have to rank other independents and most of the teams in Florida went independent out of fear of losing to good teams and therefore don't belong being considered I will always follow that standard in my rankings and I don't need to prove myself to those polls as none of them are close to my accuracy in the preseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbiafan Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 All those polls you listed are lucky if they rank half the state champs correctly in the preseason I rank over half correctly every year including a 100% record last season #PerfectionSells #AccuracyOverNames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbiafan Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 I do see that a certain lowndes clown thinks that Valdosta freshman team beating a Columbia JV team 2 years ago who barely even fielded a JV team after dozens of kids opted out of playing somehow is relevant in 2022 season 🤡 Reality is that anyone who actually knows football wouldn't even consider a result from 2 seasons ago for a 2022 PRESEASON RANKING #WeLiveInThePresent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbiafan Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Also for some fact busting, Columbia barely had any players on the JV team in 2020 that wasn't freshman, almost every upperclassmen player had to get moved to varsity because of the dozens of kids opting out of playing Also very few teams in Florida actually field a freshman team so in many cases the JV squad IS the freshman team, Columbia also started the season later than GA and many North Florida teams which would be known if that person actually did any research #IfocusOnFacts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbiafan Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Also for anyone in the world who may be confused It's spelled Florida not "Florid" Also "the best" not 'they beat" when talking about best states 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not, just like people thought I was crazy not ranking MNW in the top 10 last year in preseason and I ended up being the only one to rank them close to the correct position Their games with Cardinal Gibbons and Chaminade will tell where they stand on a state level as will the 2M playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbiafan Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Someone should let the people know that think my rankings are "homer rankings" that I was the only person of ANY ranking in the entire country last year to actually pick all the state champs in the preseason Homer or not there ain't nobody better #ResultsSpeakForThemselves Also I did a comparison of Columbia, Naples, Pine Forest, Rockledge, Mainland and vanguard in terms of on paper talent and showed Columbia was on par with all those teams, if Columbia don't belong in top 25 than neither does the rest of those teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have set rules that I'm ranking teams that are in classification and eligible for playoffs which means no independents But for the sake of it, if I were to rank IMG right now I would have them at #3 behind Chaminade and Miami Central and just above Lakeland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on who I've talked to they will both be down, also AHP is breaking in a new coach so they could be a little bit risky, can they finish top 5-10? absolutely! But right now I'm a bit hesitant with them and there aren't as loaded as some of their stronger teams, yes they have a 5* stud but so does stranahan but I need to see how they do before I feel comfortable putting them into top 10 Cardinal Gibbons is a top 10 team (bumped to 11 because of IMG) and while I think they are argubly one of if not the best coached team in Broward County they are not loaded by any stretch We will see how the season progresses but with both teams schedules it won't be hard to adjust and get both in a good spot by the final rankings, the preseason rankings is to give a starting barometer that I can adjust week to week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Columbia is way too high. I would have them about 51 where Nease is. Gotta earn it. Wishing and hoping isn’t good enough. They are breaking in a brand new coach that is coming from the 1A level. Big jump. And Columbia has always had talent only to hit speed bumps all the time. I wouldn’t just vault them into the top 25 with just a feeling. They gotta earn it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gotta earn it And yet when they win 3S it will be "well you underranked them in the preseason" My rankings are designed to be a projection of where I expect them to finish and I use the weekly results to adjust teams The closer my end of season rankings are to my preseason rankings the better they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet those teams will most likely be ranked top 25 in some FL polls out there I don't rank for the past I rank for the present and future, that's why when every other person out there ranking 6A last year picked Miami Northwestern I was the only one to pick Jesuit and was the only ranking last year IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY to get all 8 champs right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
