College Football Ain't Good No Mo

T
That's the parity that is college football. While I love NIL because these young student-athletes (women and men) should be getting paid, it has removed the loyalty and seemingly the genuine love for the sport. I hope it doesn't happen but I can see where players for the "playoff eliminated" teams will now start to sit out to focus on their next best move whether it be hitting the portal or preparing for the NFL draft.

CFB is slowly going to turn into CBB where you have a team of young 5 star recruits losing to the Armys (no disrespect to the Black Knights) of the CFB world because experience will trump talent (not week in and out). I'm both excited and weary to see where CFB heads in the future....

College Football Ain't Good No Mo

Kenneth Harris
The traditional powerhouses of college football began to show their weakness when 2007 App State went into the Big House and ran circles around Michigan. 2018 The Citadel trailed Alabama 17-10 at the half and 2017 Troy quietly defeated LSU 24-21. Two years later it was 2019 LSU lifting the national championship trophy. The ranking system in college football is a joke. It serves to make sure that highly financed colleges and universities with powerful alumni are the only teams invited and that Northern Illinois or some other unknown but stable football program will not come in and bulldoze Oregon. The portal system and the potential for NIL income as teams piecing together their teams just before spring practice. The first coach to master that system wins. For now I believe there are multiple unranked FCS teams that can easily beat the power 5 conference teams. This determination to keep Alabama in the top 12 in spite of them being losers is weak. The 2021/2022 back to back national champs Georgia Bulldogs now look like a really bad high school football team but ranked 3 before getting mashed. Think Tenth Avenue Freeze Out.

how does the region/vhsl decide who will be the higher seed in the playoffs or in Carroll and Bassett case who makes the playoffs and who goes home?

going to be some good teams going at it. I’d think GW and Salem would be the favorites. I’ll be glued to this bracket to see who will be in Hampton first weekend of December. Good luck to everyone.

Here we go again, for the last regular season weekend of the year. What garnered my attention is

Small thing over here in the west but Monticello had a great season-went 7-3, lost to 10-0 Turner Ashby, 8-2 Louisa and 8-2 Orange and couldn’t sneak into the Region 3C playoffs. Brutality.

Draft losing to Wilson was surprising. Now they gotta play at Riverheads round 1…not ideal.

Can’t wait for the playoffs.

James Monroe v Armstrong @ VSU

466418996_10230082581761041_2359155145604222881_n.jpg

The Armstrong Wildcats will host James Monroe in the Region 3B Quarterfinals at Virginia State University in Rogers Stadium. Tickets can be purchased using this link: https://flex.hometownticketing.com/events/detail/3304d147-f325-4c09-8b1e-b19772cf3ea6
Disclaimer:
Region 3B requires the home team to have at least 2000 seats, therefore our home playoff games will be played at Virginia State University. This is our 3rd year taking the trip to our home away from home, so meet us at Rogers Stadium for the 7:30 pm kick off.

The League doesn’t enforce it, but the rules are pretty straightforward. They are the rules you will find in the NFHS Handbook, which is part of the VHSL rules by reference. Summarized, it’s supposed to be “just the facts, ma’am!” (Anybody under 50 probably doesn’t know where that saying came from.)

They should get some 5 or 6 teams on the schedule from Richmond or dip into the Commonwealth like the Battlefield has been doing.

Watching them play some of the Commonwealth teams in the non-district would be fun.

They shouldn't have any issues getting games against Brooke Point, North Stafford, or even Riverbend. Probably not Colonial Forge and Mountain View as seem to play mostly Prince William and Fairfax County schools in the non-district.

I know they like playing Massaponax, but they are down and I don't think playing them will help.

Sherando vs John Handley

I have a few questions having not attended the game.

Noting above comment that Handley’s QB went out first offensive play; should Sherando have won more convincingly? I understand that the injury was to the Handley offense but that can also be translated to shorter drives (3 and outs) and more opportunities for Sherando offense. Perhaps Handley backup QB is a solid player?

Second question: This sounds like a serious injury for Darling; is Handley no longer a regional contender?

Handleys back up is capable and it also looked like Sherandos qb was dealing with something as well. Good old fashion rivalry game.

Graham will host whoever comes out of C in the semis. The only way they could play Poquoson ,Riverheads or SouthHampton would be in Salem.
