I personally liked the format that was used back in the spring season. It was a simple format 1st round 2nd round regionals then states. I'd rather keep that format than whatever format this season is gonna be.
You'll have with a 64 team format right now if they don't when a game the rest of the season you'll have 3 of the 5 winless team in the West and all 3 in the East in the playoffs. In this one championship format I believe it still should be 32 teams total , 16 W 16 E. Personally I would have preferred if not using A & AA they'd went to 5A or maybe even 6A like other states.
