Conversely, IMG beat three state champs last season (SJP, BD, GV). And of all the undefeated teams last season C-M had the worst SOS by far (30.5).

What's their SOS if you take out the district games that Chaminade is required to play by the state association? It's an advantage for IMG to be able to create and buy their entire schedule without being slated with weak district games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Softballguy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 There's a reason a lot of people nationally tend to judge the SOS more in non conference games as those are games the team has control over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah some top teams won't play IMG but are you telling me Bartram Trail and Pine Forest were the BEST teams in Florida that would be willing to play? Neither were even top 100 in Florida last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proof is that teams like them and MD still haven't finalized their 2024 schedules yet. Very few have the courage to schedule them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an advantage to have almost unlimited resources and full control over their schedule Pretty sure they can just write a 50k check and play whoever they want with what they charge for tuition if they needed a game badly enough There are teams who take 5k and will get on a 10 hour bus ride to get slaughtered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
