Are you serious?  
 

the vast majority of these teams would have made it anyways and have history of playoff runs.

You are counting games between teams from the same state.

And Benedictine taking it on the chin against Columbus! Only made them stronger

Pretty crazy that St Frances Academy scheduled and beat these teams all at once…….

 

Kahuku Hawaii (won state)

East St Louis Illinois (won state)

Venice FL (entering state finals)

Dutch Fork SC (won state)

Desoto TX (entering state semi finals)

Arundel MD (state finalist)

Dutch Fork is a heavy favorite to win against Fort Dorchester who lost themselves to Grayson GA and Clearwater Academy 

Desoto is favored to make the semis but then lose to Guyer or Carroll

Venice is favored to make state then probably lose to Lakeland. 
 

But who knows? We will see!!!

Hence, why SFA was #1/2 in every major, national poll entering the IMG game.

Beating a bunch of Tier 3 state champions does not add much street cred for a MNC

Neither does beating West UT and Central Catholic OR!! Avoiding teams like IMG and SFA will continue to hurt CA and the CIF in this respect.

Not SJB fault they can't play IMG.  Stop try to pin that on SJB and using that as a penalty vis a vis' rankings.   And MD played SFA when SFA had their best team, not the weaker 2022 version.

Your energy would be better served asking why  MC didn't schedule OOS nor Chaminade, AHP, and STA this year.  No restrictions on that.

MC is the ONLY public program to ever defeat IMG. And they did it on the road. Nuff said.

Good for them.  Cen10 scored 7 TD's off IMG as well.  Good for them too.

IMG is not the end all of HS football and should not be over valued.   IMG has a history of losing  games vs. teams that can match them up front.

The be the best, you need to beat the best. Not just a league rival.

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

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
