The State of Florida Champion.

[ThunderDan13]

I am not saying it could be done. I know that the conferences, TV Contracts, and scheduling wouldn't allow this:

Wouldn't it be great if the Florida teams could get together and schedule some sort of format to crown a state champion? I mean, with USF coming up, FAU and FIU capable of once in a while making a statement... why not?

I've though of a few scenarios, this one could work.

UF, FSU, UM, USF, FAU, UCF, FIU, FAMU

All 8 teams leave the first 2 weeks open.
The top 4 ranked teams from the season before play each other week 1. Winners play each other week 2 for Florida Title.

Losers can play each other week 2, and throughout week 1 - week 2 the other teams play each other so as not to lose any games from the season.

Thoughts? I know my system is rough, but I'd really like to see some inter-state action more often. Specially b/w teams that rarely (never) play like USF vs. UF or UM vs. UF... hell even FIU vs. UCF.


Another great benefit would be that these games would make great recruiting games to try and keep that high school talent in the state!

There already is a State Champion trophy given out whenever UM/UF/FSU all play each other the same year.

The team that has the best record against the other two is crowned "champion".

IIRC, Miami's had it for a long time. May change this year though.

Ask USF what it thinks about that?

I don't think they should really care as long as they're staying in the top 25 and going to bowl games while Miami is squandering what talent it does have and sitting at home watching USF play in the post season....

Give Miami USF's schedule and the roles would be reversed.

I can't wait to watch Miami trash USF next year.

I don't know...USF beat Louisville last year...who at last glance...had beaten Miami 31-10...

Do you think Miami could beat Pitt? West Virginia?

USF also lost to Louisville this year.

Yes Miami would beat Pitt and West Virginia. I think Miami would be unbeaten in the Big East. We've had some close losses that certainly could have gone either way with UNC and FSU, but the only big loss was to Florida, which was very close for 3 quarters.

But we'll see next year who wins between UM and USF.
