The funniest part about this is that even their excuse is inaccurate, they are not the "consensus top two teams in the country".

Why didn't they just play them when it was scheduled?

If I'm running a poll I'm considering this a double-forfeit and preceding accordingly.

The crazy thing is that IMG doesn't even have a "real" MNC yet (in my opinion 2020 shouldn't count even though they claim it) and this year seems like it would be their best opportunity to get one. Without that SFA game, no real signature win and not having playoffs, it's hard to see anyone giving them serious consideration for a #1 spot.

HA!.... Just another example of IMG having Nothing to play for, what a joke... Should have just played the game, I believe there is more to this....

Maybe there was no real interest from TV or whatever and there certainly would be no Big Gate because no one goes to their games.... They could just play the game tomorrow or Next week.... Just another reason why there is no reason to attention to IMG and why CA teams don't need IMG for anything.... 🤣

Serious question.

Would it be out of the question for SFA, and IMG Academy to hook up with national teams [Public or Private] who are willing to play after they get knocked out of their states' playoffs.

Example: Let's say, East St. Louis, Duncanville, Miami Central, Centennial CA, Corner Canyon, Bergen Catholic, etc...... all happen to lose 1st round but this "National Championship tournament" starts at the end of November into December.

It gives the teams, who are already out of their playoffs a shot at playing a national schedule in this "National HSFB Championship" 

Or is that just too chaotic?

Depends on the state. CA teams are prohibited from playing games after the section/state playoffs.

That makes sense.

I always thought that would be a neat concept, but I wouldn't be surprised if most associations barred their teams from that.

Even if it could happen, no one would take it seriously because all the teams have been eliminated from their playoffs so how could it be called a "National Championship Tournament".... More like a "Consolation Tournament"..... 🤣

No kidding!.... The thing is, not enough people care about IMG vs SFA to make this a National TV gane, Plus SFA isn't even Undefeated so not matter what it's not a "National Championship" game.....

Who is even going to watch?..... These teams have no fans and no following.... Florida doesn't like IMG and Maryland doesn't like SFA.... It's not like you have teams from HSFB crazy states like TX or GA.... Or you have a team like MD with a huge alumni base that are football crazy....

I would be surprised is this happens now. IMG v SFA would have had some degree of interest for general fans. Corner Canyon v SFA excites nobody.
Playing it in mid Dec after everybody finishes their season is not a good idea either. The organizers of this event look silly now because the game could have been played this weekend.
