And last but not least? Which teams just missed this week’s 24-team postseason outlook but could be in it soon? Before we go any further, let’s congratulate the three programs that are already locked in and have nothing worry about. St. Francis (PA) we recognized last weekend after…

Brace yourselves, FCS football fans. There will be a lot of opinions below — and ornery opinions in general — at Gridiron Heroics. First of all, let us repeat (again) what we’ve said for a couple of weeks now: Let’s go ahead and establish that pecking order — the Big Sky Conference is the top league in the FCS universe in 2022. After the above?: MVFC is clearly next … and then the CAA/SoCon are co-sharing the No. 3 spot (for now). We can make the final determination two weeks from tonight, but it’s close. And this year? It’s different.…
Folks, I’m not going to mince words on this. I just submitted my FCS Poll Ballot (on behalf of GridironHeroics) a few minutes ago to the FCS godfather, Craig Haley, at STATS/PERFORM as part of the official FCS football poll this week — and it was a toss-up in many ways. By Tuesday morning (maybe earlier now that we’re getting really close)? I’m going to publish more of a fleshed-out postseason/playoff picture (seedings, at-larges, guaranteed playoff berths, etc) with only a few weeks remaining (seeding and at-large projection, etc.) because there are trickier dynamics when it comes to the postseason…

Palm Harbor girls soccer team has been a national powerhouse for a couple of decades now, but in 2022-23, it has a chance to definitively prove it’s the dominant power in the inaugural Tampa Bay Champions League. On Wednesday, we can all join in the party. Five minutes away, right down the street at Palm Harbor University HS. If you can prove you’re the best team in Greater Tampa Bay, you’ve proven (in all honesty) that you’re one of the elite teams in the country. And that’s a fact. Just ask the media entity who tracks it, MaxPreps: PHU has…

Palm Harbor’s ladies are making a very strong case that they’re one of the top programs in the land. The land? What “land” are we talking about? That would be the USA, if you believe the national computer ranking that sets up the Florida state playoff field each year. The Lady Hurricanes (9-0-0) are ranked No. 19 in America in Dec. 15th’s computer rankings posted at Maxpreps — which has become the national sounding board for who is good, and who isn’t. After Wednesday and Thursday nights’ decisive victories over recent Pinellas blue-blood St. Petersburg HS (9-1 win) and Mitchell…
