You won't see them this year. Probably not next year. Perhaps never. But here's 10 games between perennial national powers we'd pay to watch.


No. 3
Don Bosco Prep vs. Manatee

Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.)
Head coach: Greg Toal
2010 record: 5-0
National ranking: No. 1 (Freeman Rankings), No. 7 (Xcellent 25)

Manatee (Bradenton, Fla.)
Head coach: Joe Kinnan
2010 record: 6-0
National rankings: No. 99 (Freeman Rankings), No. 23 (Xcellent 25)

Why we would like to see it? This game was tentatively scheduled for 2010 but fell through, causing tremendous uproar in the Manatee community. Don Bosco Prep has beaten teams from California, Alabama, and Ohio the last two seasons, but has yet to take on a Florida team.
