About halfway through the season, Josh and I started talking about the possibilities of several 1-9, 2-8 and 3-7 teams making the playoffs this year.
 
We started thinking of ways to change the playoff system without having to change the playoff system under the current structure.
 
After much thought, we came up with a way to make sure Northview, Jay, Maclay, FAMU, Eastside, Belleview and etc.. couldn't make our playoff system.
 
CLASS 1A   
Under the scenario presented: Northview (2-8) which made the FHSAA playoffs, would have missed our playoffs.        DISTRICT CHAMPIONS (8) Automatic berths District 1-Baker (7-3) District 2-Vernon (8-2) District 3-Port St Joe (8-1) District 4-Liberty County (7-3) District 5-Madison County (7-3) District 6-Fort White (8-2) District 7-Trenton (10-0) District 8-Pahokee (8-2)   RUNNERUPS  (Nothing guaranteed) District 1: Northview (2-8) District 2: Graceville (7-3) District 3: Blountstown (8-2) District 4: Chipley (5-5)  District 5: Jefferson County (5-5) District 6: Union County (9-1) Districts 7: Dixie County (7-3) District 8: Fort Meade (9-1)    BUBBLE TEAMS Newberry (6-4)  Cottondale (6-4)  South Walton (6-4)   Williston (5-5) Sneads (5-5) Freeport (5-5) Hawthorne (5-5)  Wewa (5-4)   SCENARIO  --Divide bracket into North/South --4 district champs in North and South make playoffs --4 wild cards in North, 4 wild cards in South --Seed all 8 teams in North/South    --Highest seed host --When two or more teams are tied with record for seeding purposes then head to head tiebreaker first, then strength of schedule second using win-loss record of opponents.   NORTH  No. 6 Graceville (7-3) at No. 3 Baker (7-3) No. 7 South Walton (6-4) No. 2 Vernon (8-2) No. 8 Cottondale (6-4) at No. 1 Port St Joe (8-1) No. 5 Blountstown (8-2) at No. 4 Liberty (7-3)   South Walton beat Cottondale during the season to break tie.   SOUTH   No. 8 Newberry (6-4) at No. 1 Trenton (10-0) No. 5 Fort Meade (9-1) at No. 4 Fort White (8-2)   No. 6 Union County (9-1) at No. 3 Pahokee (8-2)  No. 7 Dixie County (7-2) at No. 2 Madison County (7-3)   Pahokee's opponents record is better than Fort White's, thus breaking the tie.   Positives --No long road trips by dividing bracket into North/South --Financially makes sense close proximities for each round    Negatives --Not having top teams in state play in Final Four or in state title --Potential of teams in same district meeting in Round 1 or Round 2

We are aware the AP is releasing their All-State football teams all this week, however since Christmas Day we have been working on our All-State teams as well.
 
Unlike the AP we will include 9 classes, Independents, 1A-8A.
 
Each classification will comprise of several teams on it as well as most important stats, explaining why the kids were selected. In addition to the all-state teams, there will be Offensive and Defensive POYs and Coach of the Year, not necessarily going by the Dairy Farmer winners.
 
Stay tuned....
