@Poochie_Cuh How the formula truly works

[Corey Davis @ByCoreyDavis]

We all want answers asap

[Florida Coaches Coalition @PayFLCoaches]

📢 THE CLOCK HAS RUN OUT. FLORIDA WANTS ANSWERS.

The live show originally scheduled for today, where the @FHSAA and @MaxPreps were expected to discuss the ranking system, is no longer taking place.

It now appears to be moving forward as a prerecorded presentation, without an opportunity for coaches to ask questions.

And that's exactly the problem.

For weeks, Florida's coaches have been asking questions about the @MaxPreps ranking system used to determine FHSAA playoff eligibility.

And what have we gotten from @MaxPreps?

❌ Zero transparency.
❌ Zero formula released.
❌ Zero ability to independently verify the results.

Enough is enough.

The Florida Coaches Coalition has formally demanded that MaxPreps release its full ranking algorithm, including the mathematical formula, variables, and weighting used to determine which teams make the playoffs.

Not a watered-down explanation. Not another presentation. Not another excuse about proprietary information.

We want the formula. All of it.

And we're taking this conversation beyond MaxPreps.

Our formal correspondence has been copied to:

@RonDeSantis & @JamesUthmeierFL

Why? Because this is no longer just about football rankings. When a private company's undisclosed algorithm determines postseason opportunities for Florida's public schools, the consequences reach our student-athletes, families, local economies, and entire communities.

This is a matter of statewide public interest, and Florida's highest offices deserve to know how a lack of transparency is impacting the people they serve.

Multiple schools and communities have been shorted opportunities. Opportunities for seniors to play another game. Opportunities for student-athletes to gain exposure. Opportunities for schools to generate potential postseason revenue and for local businesses to benefit from a playoff run.

Those opportunities don't come back.

We understand the 2026 playoff field isn't changing. We appreciate the FHSAA's willingness to engage with our organization and work toward greater transparency moving forward.

But the responsibility to explain the @MaxPreps algorithm belongs to @MaxPreps.

The public deserves answers from MaxPreps. If your algorithm determines which teams make the playoffs, you owe Florida's schools, families, and student-athletes full transparency into how those decisions are made.

If your algorithm is fair, show us.

If your methodology is sound, prove it.

And if @MaxPreps refuses to release the formula, we have full faith that Florida's state leadership will step in and demand the transparency our schools and student-athletes deserve.

Protecting proprietary information should not come at the expense of public accountability.

We said we would follow up. We meant it.

Do you believe the MaxPreps ranking formula should be public?

Like, share, and tell us what you think in the comments. Florida's coaches, schools, families, and student-athletes deserve to have their voices heard.

[Army-Navy Game @ArmyNavyGame]

The Army-Navy Game announced today that the 2027 Army-Navy Game presented by USAA, the 128th playing of America’s Game, will be played Saturday, Dec. 4 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

The date change from Dec. 11 was necessitated by the CFP moving to 24 teams and starting on Dec. 9.

@TheCFBAdvocate @On3 @CFBHeather 💯

16 would have been the ideal number. Conference champions will no longer matter. With unbalanced schedules and no conference championship game, who cares who wins the conference?

Oh and death to bowl games.

ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and SEC each announce that 2026 will be the final season of their conference championship games due to the 24-team CFP field beginning in 2027.
