National Div. 2 Homeschool Football Ratings

   The first rankings of the football season are being prepared for Division 2 homeschool teams. These numbers are being posted even while coaches are entering final numbers for the past weekend's games.
   These numbers will be locked within the next 24 hours for the week. Maxpreps waited until they had 3 games tabulated for the entire nation's prep football teams, before posting. This was to assure accuracy and full inclusion by states who mandated that intervarsity play starts after Labor Day.

   While Stephenville and Tomball dominated division 2 for the past couple years, this year will see many new teams in the hunt for the national title.
   Texas Homeschool football continues it's rich tradition of 6-man, but California has a vibrant league of 8-man developing.  Florida has a unique brand of 7-man in which homeschool teams are very competitive. Much of the rest of  the nation seems to have settled on 8-man as the preferred small school format.
  We will be following division 2 very closely this week and throughout the rest of the season.
