LOL, That's a pretty high bar. SF is ranked #3 in the nation with a real shot at running the table and ending up #1. Also have a Heisman candidate as an alum. Fact: The top MIAA football teams would kill almost every public school in the State. McD is down this year but believe they've done pretty well in Conference for the last several years (excluding the Covid year). Last year's LB football success was an anomaly. Sorry, that Program is not built for the weekly grind of the MIAA A Conference with a sprinkle of WCAC teams thrown in for good measure. A couple of very good skill players with several other good role players is not the recipe for sustained success in A Conference football. This program construct may win you a Turkey Bowl upset or two and keep the faithful from storming the Bastille:

Top MIAA football wouldnt kill ANY top MD public teams,,,NONE,,

I would love for the MIAA football superiority claim to be true, but it's not. However, let's put some real numbers to it. There are maybe 5 public HS teams in MD that would have a solid chance of beating any MIAA team (Q Orchard, Milford, Dunbar, Broadneck, Arundel maybe). When you start looking at the level of ball being played below state rank #20 (top 5 public HS and maybe 3 MIAA schools), the level of football being played is pretty horrendous. For example, Loyola's giant egg against MSJ, or any game that St. Palotti plays in. It would be like arguing HS lacrosse rankings in Wyoming tbh.
