Playoff Revision-Random Thoughts

[redmen85]

1. Nothing has changed. Schools have been jockeying for wins for as long as I can remember.
2. The sport of football has ruined many good conferences over the years. Teams that could not compete on an annual basis have often looked for another avenue to have success on the field.
3. 6 classes were fantastic. So was $.42/gallon gas. That is history and will never return.
4. Football is unique in that you have to qualify for the post season.
5. 4-4 teams qualify and will probably play teams with multiple losses in a round one game.
6. Teams that don't qualify have the option to play a week 9 game against other non-qualifiers and possibly end the season with a win.
7. Some of the awful in-season travel in the district model would be eliminated.

Nobody gets hurt. (or am I missing something?)

If you don’t let everyone in still play 9 games

Thank You Edgy!!! I recall a blind draw in Indiana one year that didn’t fare well.0-9 vs 2-7 and 0-9 vs 3-6.Both 0-9 teams won.Bottom had 9-0 vs 8-1 and 9-0 vs 7-2.both 9-0 won and round 3 had 11-0 vs 2-9

SWAG Numbers here:
* 40-50 school administrations and school communities (not coaches) in the state are consistently committed to the sport.
* 200 or so school administrations and school communities (not coaches) enjoy the ride if it comes their way.
* 300 school administrations and school communities (not coaches) go through the motions.
They all have one vote on policy matters and that has delivered unintended consequences instead of the objectives ever-changing policies aimed to address.
